Setting back upright
Uprighting is the act of returning something to an upright position—setting it vertical or right-side up after it has fallen, tipped, or been knocked over: The crew spent hours uprighting the capsized boat.
In orthodontics, uprighting refers to straightening a tilted tooth to its proper vertical alignment.
