Case report TM: early intervention makes nonextraction, nonsurgical treatment possible.
An early phase of treatment limited to orthopedic change as well as the elimination of injurious oral habits makes possible a nonextraction, nonsurgical approach to treatment. Although careful timing and excellent cooperation are essential, it is hard to fault the long-term results of this treatment plan.
