Abstract :
Abstract Crowded teeth have a major negative influence on the dentomaxillary system. This article reports the treatment of crowding with unilateral premolar extraction. A 22-year-old male presented with crowding of the upper and lower anterior teeth and bucally placed 13. The patient had chief complaint of irregular upper and lower front teeth. Clinical examination showed a Class I relationship for the teeth and cephalometric measurements showed a Class I skeletal tendency. The right upper and lower first premolar were extracted for anterior crowding correction and segmented T loop was used for canine retraction in right upper arch . It is concluded that upper first premolar extraction is one of the options in the treatment of crowding. Unilateral premolar extraction treatment can be performed to achieve a functionally stable occlusion and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the patient.
