The tooth #29 is distalized (rebounds) 10 weeks postop (Fig.6, after removal of 18 ss wire). Later an open coil spring is placed between #29 and 31. When the patient returns in 4 weeks, the tooth #29 should be mesialized. Choose a molar band at #30, reline the provisional (P) and place an open coil spring between #30 and 31. In fact, the implant is not involved in orthodontic treatment, since the open coil spring between #29 and 31 is what is required.
