Abstract
The primary goal of preventive orthodontics is to maintain the integrity of the deciduous dentition until uneventful exfoliation of primary teeth for proper growth and development of dento-facial complex.
Space loss is unavoidable following longstanding proximal caries and early loss of deciduous tooth. In such conditions, orthodontic intervention plays a critical role, which promotes favorable developmental dento-facial changes.
Space management, particularly space regaining, present challenges during early mixed dentition stage, creating clinical conundrum in the anterior region due to insufficient anchorage.
Out of various etiologies behind the non/delayed eruption of teeth, prolonged retention of deciduous teeth and space shortage are considered to be potential etiological factors.
Space shortage for eruption of permanent teeth is a problem caused by tooth material/arch size discrepancy leading to decreased arch length and insufficient space for eruption of permanent teeth.
This paper introduces a new technique of space regaining using proximal stripping in conjunction with modified split labial bow appliance in a 8 year old child in her mixed dentition period to enable favourable eruption of permanent lower right lateral incisor i.e 42.
