EDCan you identify the correct movement in the image?
.
Tooth movements play a crucial role in orthodontics, and each type of movement serves a unique purpose in aligning your teeth for a perfect smile. Look at the image and guess which tooth movement is being demonstrated:
1. Translation: Moving a tooth straight horizontally.
2. Rotation: Changing a tooth's orientation within the arch.
3. Intrusion: Pressing a tooth downward.
4. Extrusion: Lifting a tooth upward.
5. Tipping: Tilting the tooth either inwards or outwards.
6. Torque: Adjusting the angle of a tooth's root.
7. Mesial and Distal: Moving teeth forward (mesial) or backward (distal) along the arch.
