This 14 yr old male presents with a narrow upper jaw, crossbite of the right side, asymmetric lower jaw with a dental midline shift. The lower left second bicuspid is absent (primary molar in place), and significant upper crowding is present.
After
Non-extraction treatment was initiated with a maxillary expander to correct the molar crossbite. The primary molar was removed to prepare a future dental implant site (bonded wire retainer on left side). Treatment duration = 17 months.
