| dc.description.abstract | Three adolescent cases demonstrate the clinical application of “driftodontics” following strategic premolar extractions. Natural dental drift appeared to facilitate spontaneous tooth movement during the early treatment phase, including canine descent, incisor retroclination, and space redistribution. The findings illustrate the potential of natural dental drift as an adjunctive mechanism in malocclusion management, with possible implications for simplifying and shortening orthodontic treatment. Keywords: case studies, dental drift, driftodontics, malocclusion management, premolar extractions. | |
