Abstract

This case report showed the orthodontic treatment for a 14-year-old male patient who has Angle’s Class III malocclusion with bilateral maxillary lateral incisors missing and convex profile. Owing to the profile of the patient, patient’s age, the result of space analysis and the colour and shape of canine, these above factors favored canine substitution for this case. The maxillary anterior teeth esthetics was achieved by orthodontic space closure of the lateral incisors. The patient and his family were satisfied with the treatment outcome.
