Abstract

In everyday orthodontic practice, patients with missing central upper incisor or the ones whose central upper incisor needs to be extracted are occasional. Having in mind that most of the orthodontic patients are children who are growing and by influencing the smile esthetics, the orthodontist is influencing general quality of life itself.
Therefore, it is clear that these cases are as challenging as can be. Few treatment options are possible, but single osteointegration implant and orthodontic space closure with bringing the lateral incisor in the extracted area are the most popular. The aim of this case report is to present space closure in the upper front area as an evidence-based treatment option that should be considered as first alternative in growing patients as it reduces the invasiveness of the subsequent restorative treatment, offering long-term periodontal health and optimal aesthetic and functional results.
