Abstract
When anterior tooth ankylosis happens before growth is completed, it leads to dentoalveolar vertical discrepancy which causes anterior openbite and aesthetic concerns. This case report presents a minimally aggressive approach for treatment of an ankylosed tooth in an adult patient using surgical luxation along with temporary anchorage device and vertical elastics. At the end of treatment, the anterior openbite was corrected with extrusion of the ankylosed incisor. The smile arc was significantly improved and the patient was satisfied with the results.
