    Abstract:
    Mandibular dental crowding often encourages patients to seek orthodontic treatment. The orthodontist should decide between protrusion of incisors or decrease in dental volume so as to achieve proper alignment and leveling. The present study reports the treatment of an Angle Class I malocclusion adolescent female brachyfacial patient with severe mandibular dental crowding, increased curve of Spee and deep overbite. The patient was treated with extraction of a mandibular incisor. This case was presented to the Brazilian Board of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (BBO) as a requirement for the title of certified by the BBO. O apinhamento dentário inferior, com frequência, motiva os pacientes a buscarem tratamento ortodôntico. Ao ortodontista cabe a decisão entre protruir os incisivos ou diminuir o volume dentário, a fim de obter o adequado alinhamento e nivelamento. O presente relato aborda o tratamento de uma má oclusão Classe I de Angle, em paciente adolescente, sexo feminino, braquifacial, com severo apinhamento na arcada inferior, curva de Spee e sobremordida aumentadas, e tratada com exodontia de um incisivo inferior.
