Reviewing Canine Distalization Techniques: From Traditional Approaches to Modern Innovations
Abstract
Introduction: Over the years, canine retraction or distalization has been accomplished through frictional and non-frictional mechanics by orthodontists. The search for new methods to achieve the desired movement of canine in the least time possible has led to the development of various new methods.
Objective: This article is aimed at providing a synthesis of the recent literature about the novel methods of canine distalization techniques.
Method: An electronic literature search was conducted between January 2015 and December 2023 using the keywords “canine” and “retraction method”. Additionally, manual searches in the reference lists of the articles included were also carried out.
Result: The information obtained from the selected articles was arranged in an organized manner for ease of understanding under the given subheadings in the article.
