Abstract

The extraction of the geminated maxillary central incisors was selected as the preferred treatment in this case because of the impossibility of properly recontouring these teeth. Although the crowns could have been reshaped somewhat to conform to a more normal size and shape, the roots were so wide that approximation of the central and lateral incisor crowns would have been impaired. The use of normally shaped, large lateral incisors in place of abnormal central incisors gives a better occlusion and a more esthetic result at the end of the treatment.
