Managing Complex Orthodontic Tooth Movement With C-Tube Miniplates

The purpose of this chapter is to describe a simplification of the techniques to correct a displaced midline or a collapsed occlusion correction by identifying target teeth to design the biomechanics. I-type C-tube miniplates were placed on the symphysis and the posterior buccal surface of the mandible to provide accurate support against multidirectional forces. C-tube miniplates are short, flexible, useful devices for retracting or pushing the teeth, enabling efficient correction of midline deviations without undesirable side effects. The miniplate is secured with two or three mini-implants, ensuring great stability and simple approaches for complicated malocclusions.
