Abstract

This article presents solutions to problems posed by missing teeth in the anterior sector of the arch by synthesizing three groups of parameters, those related to patients, those related to dentists, and those related to the orthodontist.

But the patient, or the parents of patients who are young children, in consultation with the treatment professionals, must make the final decision.
