Abstract

Orthodontic treatment comprises different phases with unique characteristics and challenges. Tooth size discrepancies are considered an important variable especially in the anterior segment. Orthodontic treatment of patient with peg shaped lateral incisor becomes difficult due to problem encounter during bonding of orthodontic bracket on malformed tooth. Maintaining midline and space for final restoration on peg shaped lateral incisor during orthodontic treatment is mostly done using coil spring which is less efficient, tedious and uncomfortable to patient. This article presents a new method of management of Bolton discrepancy due to peg shaped lateral in conjunction with temporary prosthetic pontic by orthodontic method.
Keywords: Bolton discrepancy, peg shaped lateral incisor, pontic.
