An orthodontic treatment was performed with the use of 0.022 Roth brackets and with the extraction of lower first bicuspids as well as the remaining temporary teeth. Vertical elastics where used to settle the bite. At the age of 16 a removable denture was used to rehabilitate the area of the missing upper lateral incisors and to place a restoration on tooth #21. Surgery was performed to place a bone graft on teeth 12 and 22. Once growth has ceased dental implants will be placed. A lower fixed and an upper circumferential retainer was used.
