September’s Tip: Mulligan Mechanics Part III

By Dr. Adrian J. Palencar, MUDr, MAGD, IBO, FADI, FPFA, FICD

The required bends in Mulligan Mechanics may be executed extra-orally or intra-orally.  Dr. Mulligan prefers the execution intra-orally, however, the author favors placement extra-orally.  The advantages of placement the extra-oral bends (particularly for the novice) are that the clinician may evaluate the final shape of the arch wire, coordinate the arch wire with the desired shape, and he/she may qualify and quantify the executed bends. In the author’s opinion, placing the bends intra-orally may not be as precise, in most cases.
