In such a case LLA prevents the permanent molars from migrating mesially (forward) thus blocking off the eruption space for the premolar teeth. LLA is also used in order to maintain the so-called "Leeway space", which is the extra space available in the arch when the deciduous molars are exfoliated and replaced by smaller permanent premolars.

If this space is not currently available, orthodontic separators may be placed between the tooth indicated for the Hall Technique and adjacent teeth (see image 1). [26]
Too much uprighting of the incisors in the available space can result in too flat a face caused by the dishing in of the anterior segment. The mandibular anterior teeth must be stabilized to prevent excessive lingual tipping. A fixed mandibular arch from the left first permanent molar to the right first permanent molar may be required.

Moving teeth outside of this zone means that the muscular forces on the teeth will be out of balance in one direction, and tend to be more likely to relapse to ...
