  • Title: Iatrogenic absence of maxillary canines: Bolton discrepancy treated with mandibular incisor extraction.
    Author: Simão TM, Valladares-Neto J, Rino-Neto J, de Paiva JB.
    Journal: Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop; 2013 May; 143(5):713-23. PubMed ID: 23631973.
    Abstract:
    This case report describes the orthodontic treatment of an adult patient with iatrogenic absence of the maxillary canines, moderate maxillary and severe mandibular dental crowding, a Bolton discrepancy with a large mandibular anterior excess, a maxillary right lateral incisor crossbite, and Angle Class II molar relationships. The treatment consisted of fixed appliance therapy, mandibular incisor extraction, tooth bleaching, and dental recontouring. This method of treatment maintained the patient's good facial appearance, improved the dental esthetics, and provided a good functional occlusion, eliminating the arch length and Bolton discrepancies and providing a good outcome with minimal undesirable effects.
