Crowding ⁵)

The initial problem is developing crowding in both dental arches, particularly in the lower arch. The space between the primary canines is insufficient for the permanent incisors, and it is suspected that normal transverse growth will not be sufficient to correct the situation.

The aim of the treatment is to stimulate transverse growth of the jaws by gradually increasing the size of the My LM-Activator™ appliance, while simultaneously aligning the erupting teeth. Starting with My LM-Activator Low Short 40.
