Driftodontics – A case series

In spite of the tremendous improvements in technology that allow for fewer patients to require extractions, there are always patients who have significant enough crowding that ultimately necessitate the removal of premolars. Alleviating the lower anterior crowding prior to placement of the fixed appliances shortens the time in braces, and allows self correction by natural drift. One such treatment strategy which allows all this is Driftodontics.This paper is intended to bring forth the clinical advantages of driftodontics by showing some of our cases which achieved efficient results.
