"Morphing" a removable prosthesis in an orthodontic appliance

	Sometimes a removable prostehesis can became a good orthodontic appliance.
	If a first bicuspid is tipped mesially and additional space is required for implant placement, is possible to add a simple closing spring to the acrylic. A 0.6-0.7 stainless steel wire can easily be adapted.
	This is a time and cost effective system to prepare the patient for future prosthetic treatment.
	Usually these patients are happy to maintain their smiles during the orthodontic phase of treatment.
