During the clinical evaluation, it is common to observe inclined molars, a condition that represents a challenge for the professional due to the limited understanding of the most effective biomechanics to correct this alteration. There is little consensus in the management of these cases, since the loss of adjacent teeth usually triggers changes in molar position, causing inclinations that alter occlusion and periodontal health. This negatively affects the health of the stomatognathic system, making it necessary to stabilize and harmonize the position of the molars to restore adequate occlusion. The objective of this work is to describe the different therapeutic alternatives for molar verticalization, considering the undesirable effects that may arise when incorrectly applying certain biomechanics. The verticalization of molars is a complex clinical challenge for the dentist, given its high technical difficulty. To this end, a bibliographic study was carried out in which different treatment alternatives were explored.
