| Summary: | Introduction: This case report describes the orthodontic re-treatment of a case with a severely compromised maxillary lateral incisor requiring removal and canine substitution. The treatment included creative asymmetric treatment mechanics and a careful management of anchorage.
Case Presentation: Pre-treatment, post treatment and 5 years follow-up records are shown. The treatment outcomes proved to be stable at the follow-up with acceptable aesthetic and functional results.
Conclusion: Through careful management of anchorage it was possible to successfully use asymmetric treatment mechanics to achieve a good functional occlusion. |
