Abstract
The final article in our series on orthodontic conundrums considers the extraction of a single lower incisor as part of a wider orthodontic treatment plan. This is a relatively uncommon approach; however, when used in the appropriate clinical scenario, it can be highly effective. Extraction of a lower incisor may be required to provide space for alignment of the teeth and serve as a pragmatic way to facilitate treatment while preserving posterior units. This article explores some of the possible orthodontic indications and contraindications for extraction of a lower incisor. CPD/Clinical Relevance: In certain clinical situations, extraction of a lower incisor has significant advantages. Dental professionals should be aware of this extraction pattern and its limitations.
