A new and simple technique for aesthetic tooth replacement during orthodontic treatment, with a pontic using orthodontic wire mesh, is described and appears in the author's clinical practise to be superior to the other techniques reported previously. These pontics may be used in maxillary first bicuspid extraction cases, and with adaptation where anterior teeth have to be replaced because of agenesis, extractions, or traumatic loss. This technique thus also provides the clinician with an aesthetic and dependable space maintainer for anterior teeth whilst orthodontic treatment is being completed.
本文介绍了一种在正畸治疗期间进行美观牙齿修复的新的简单技术，该技术使用正畸金属丝网制作桥体，在作者的临床实践中，它似乎优于先前报道的其他技术。这些桥体可用于上颌第一双尖牙拔除病例，也可在因发育不全、拔牙或外伤缺失而需要替换前牙时进行调整使用。因此，该技术还为临床医生在完成正畸治疗期间提供了一种美观且可靠的前牙间隙保持器。
