Abstract
The extraction of the lower incisor constitutes a therapeutic alternative in treating certain anomalies. It is not a standard approach to symmetrically treating most malocclusions, but in certain clinical situations the therapeutic aims must be adjusted to individual patient needs - even when this means that achieved final occlusion is not ideal. A case report is presented with one mandibular incisor extraction treatment of a 17 year-old male with a Class I malocclusion that shows a significant mandibular arch length deficiency and mandibular tooth-size excess. In this case, the degree of mandibular anterior dental crowding, existing mandibular tooth-size excess indicated the extraction of one mandibular incisor.
