Abstract
Orthodontic management of crowded dental arches require creation of spaces through certain space gaining methods. Extraction of 1st premolars had been the primary method of gaining space till the beginning of 21st century. This method has been tried to be avoided due to certain reasons such as typical dishing-in of face, re-opening of extraction spaces, longer duration of active orthodontic treatment etc. Recently, certain crowded situations can be managed successfully by means of mid-arch or whole-arch expansion, whole-arch distallization, proximal disking etc. This case report shows how a moderately crowded situation of a young boy can be managed by non-extraction method to reproduce presentable facial aesthetics and smile characteristics.
