Partial Orthodontics (MTM)
Partial Correction
When a tooth is broken below the gum line or has deep decay extending under the gum, partial orthodontics (MTM) can gradually pull the tooth into a position where it can be treated or restored.
This method can be a last option to save teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted.
Even if other clinics have said your tooth cannot be preserved, please feel free to consult us.
Extrusion (Orthodontic Tooth Extrusion)
This treatment gradually pulls a tooth that is partially buried under the gum into a more accessible position using a specialized device, allowing a crown or restoration to be placed.
It offers the possibility of preserving your natural tooth without extraction.

TROUBLE
Recommended for Patients with the Following Conditions
- Teeth broken below the gum line
- Teeth with deep decay extending under the gum
- Patients who want to avoid extraction whenever possible
- Patients who wish to preserve their natural teeth rather than opting for implants or bridges
Goals of Extrusion Treatment
Treatment Process & Duration
-
①Examination & Diagnosis
Using a dental microscope, we can observe fine structures and lesions that are difficult to see with the naked eye.
This allows for more accurate examination, diagnosis, and treatment.
-
②Placement of Orthodontic Device
Brackets and wires are used to apply gentle force to the tooth.
-
③Extrusion
The tooth is gradually pulled upward over several weeks.
-
④Stabilization and Shaping
The tooth is stabilized in its new position and shaped as needed.
-
⑤Final Restoration
The tooth is restored with a crown or other prosthetic restoration.
The overall treatment period typically ranges from approximately 2 to 4 months, depending on the case.
Extrusion Treatment Case

A case where a front tooth was fractured and there was insufficient ferrule for restoration.
Using a dental microscope, the fracture line was carefully located, and the tooth was gradually extruded and stabilized over 2–6 months while monitoring mobility.
As shown in the diagram, a wire was embedded in the root and connected to the temporary crown with a wire and elastic to gently pull the tooth upward.
After extrusion, the gum shape can be adjusted as needed, allowing for final crown restoration.
