Abstract

This case report describes the treatment of a patient with unerupted maxillary right central incisor, lateral incisor, and canine in a Class III malocclusion with asymmetry of the lower face. Sequential traction of the 3 unerupted teeth with a light force system was used in the treatment. The results remained stable during the 4-year retention period.
