    Abstract:
    This report describes the orthodontic treatment of a woman, aged 34 years 2 months, with several missing teeth and atrophic mandibular first molar extraction sites. We had planned to close the spaces from the missing maxillary canines with mesial movement of the premolars and molars. In the mandibular arch, protraction of the second molars into first molar extraction sites and reduction of the mandibular incisor protrusion were performed. No miniscrews or bone plates were used. A modified helical loop was used, and it can be considered a simple and an efficient orthodontic method of closing the spaces without mesial or lingual tipping and rotation. Pleasing esthetic and functional results were achieved.
