The document discusses various methods for gaining space in orthodontic treatment, including proximal stripping, extraction, distalization, uprighting molars, derotation of posterior teeth, and proclination of anterior teeth. Proximal stripping involves reducing the width of teeth by slicing the proximal surfaces to create space. Extraction is another option to gain space and can address issues like abnormal tooth size/shape. Distalization methods seek to move molars distally using appliances like headgear, pendulum appliances, or intraoral devices. Uprighting tilted molars and derotating rotated teeth can also recover lost space. Proclination moves front teeth forward to gain space.
