2. Extraction Mechanics
• Four general procedures :
1 Stabilization of upper and lower molar
anchorage.
2 Retraction and uprighting of cuspids with
sectional arch mechanics.
3 Retraction and consolidation of upper and lower
incisors.
4 Continuous arches for details of ideal and
finishing occlusion.

3. Extraction Mechanics
1. Stabilization of upper
and lower molar
anchorage:
a) Maximum upper molar
anchorage.
Nance arch with
modifications.
Headgear .

4. Extraction Mechanics
b) Moderate upper molar
anchorage:
Palatal bar.
Quad helix.
Upper utility arch.

6. Extraction Mechanics
• Maximum lower molar
anchorage:
Lower utility arch-four
mechanical adjustments:
i) Buccal root torque
ii) Buccal expansion of the
molars to support the torque
iii) Tipback of 30 to 40 deg, for
molar uprighting.
iv) Distal molar rotation to keep
upper molar in a proper
functioning occlusion.

8. Extraction Mechanics
• Minimum lower molar
anchorage:
Eliminate the four
mechanical factors.
Round wires may be
used.

9. Extraction Mechanics
2. Retraction and uprighting of cuspids with
sectional arch mechanics.
• Cuspids need to be kept in the narrow trough of
trabecular bone and avoid the severe tipping or
displacement
• The activation of the cuspid retraction springs
should produce 100 to 150 grams of force
