Resumo

Eruption disturbances of permanent canines have multifactorial causes and occur in a significant percentage of the population. To rotate a tooth on own axis using the continuous arch-wire can be quite complex. Whereas with the use of a fixed segmented TMA (titanium molybdenum alloy-TMA 0.017x0.025-inch) arch (box loop), rotation of the majority of single rooted teeth can be corrected. A case report of mandibular canine rotation in a fourteen year-old girl with a Class I skeletal pattern in the permanent dentition stage illustrates the principles of case management. It can be concluded that the box loop can correct the rotation of the mandibular canine simply in a short time, during the course of fixed orthodontic therapy.
