Possibility of space closure without initial alignment

Orthodontic space closure had always remained in focus due to complex biomechanics involved in almost all the treatment modalities. Although lot of efforts have been made from time to time to control the anchorage by complex wire bending or surgical methods like temporary anchorage devices (TAD′s), but all have some added inherent disadvantage. An effort has been made to do carry out orthodontic space closure without any complex archwire bending or any surgically assisted method including TAD′s.
