title: Orthodontic management of a young girl with class I malocclusion and severe crowding: a case report.
abstract: We describe the treatment of a young girl age, 16 years, with Class I malocclusion. Both upper and lower anterior segment of jaws were crowded with buccally placed canines. Treatment consisted mainly of premolars extractions, canine retraction, labeling and alignment with Edgewise fixed appliances by multiloop technique. The patient did not show good cooperation, hence treatment time was prolonged. However the treatment resulted in Class I molar occlusion with proper alignment of both upper and lower anterior segment, an ideal overjet, overbite and incisor angulation.
