Abstract
|
|
|
|
The maxillary anterior teeth are esthetically important. If the maxillary anterior teeth are lost due to trauma, it can be treated through conventional prosthetics or implants. However, if the restoration range is reduced with orthodontic treatment, more effective restoration treatment will be possible. An 18-year-old female patient had lost four maxillary anterior teeth about 10 years ago. Due to severe alveolar bone loss in the maxillary anterior region, the treatment plan was established to reduce the space for two central incisors rather than expanding to gain additional space for four incisors. This treatment plan not only corrected the protrusion of the upper lip but also reduced the number of implants that are needed.
