The tooth #29 is distalized (rebounds) 10 weeks postop (Fig.6,  after removal of 18 ss wire).  Later an open coil spring is placed between #29 and 31.  When the patient returns in 4 weeks, the tooth #29 should be mesialized.  Choose a molar band  at #30, reline the provisional (P) and place an open coil spring between #30 and 31.  In fact, the implant is not involved in orthodontic treatment, since the open coil spring between #29 and 31 is what is required.
