Canine substitution of a missing maxillary lateral incisor in an orthodontic re-treatment case: Long term follow up

Sa？etak Abstract 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
