title: Orthodontic management of bilateral maxillary canine-first premolar transposition and bilateral agenesis of maxillary lateral incisors: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Maxillary canine-first premolar transposition (Mx.C.P1) is an uncommon dental positional anomaly that may create many orthodontic problems from both esthetic and functional points of view.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  In this report we show the orthodontic management of a case of Mx.C.P1 associated with bilateral maxillary lateral incisor agenesis and unilateral mandibular second premolar agenesis
  
  
  METHODS
  The patient was treated with a multibracket appliance and the extraction of the lower premolar.
  
  
  RESULTS
  treatment was completed without the need for any prosthetic replacement.
