Abstract:

The maxillary incisors are the most frequently fractured teeth which hamper the esthetic, functional, and psychological aspects of an individual. Of the many treatment options available, orthodontic space regaining and prosthetic implant for the replacement of missing central incisor is the best multidisciplinary treatment approach. This case report describes a 19-year-old female patient who reported with crooked appearance of upper anterior teeth due to loss of space in the right central incisor tooth area. The patient was treated with prosthetic implant in the space restored by orthodontics.
