Abstract
Occlusal cant is often perceived by both patients and dental practitioners as an aesthetic concern. While occlusal cant due to skeletal discrepancies or severe cases may necessitate surgical intervention, dental occlusal cant can be corrected through orthodontic treatment. This case series demonstrates the successful management of occlusal cant with asymmetric overbite using a novel approach: unilateral bite turbo attached to the lingual surface of a lateral incisor, canine, or both. The results, applicable to both labial and lingual orthodontic mechanics, suggest that dental occlusal cant can be effectively addressed using this simple and minimally invasive bite turbo technique.
