ABSTRACT
Orthodontic technology has advanced to the point where management of cases with multiple dental anomalies should be within an orthodontist's daily armamentarium. A patient with bilateral agenesis of lower second premolars, delayed development, and transmigration of a mandibular canine was treated with the aid of hemisection, indirect/closed exposure, application of continuous force, targeted delivery, and strict attention to keeping the roots as much in bone as possible. This was accomplished without implants or flattening the facial profile, yet with excellent periodontal status and a fully functioning occlusion.
