case_images: Banding and bonding (upper and lower preadjusted edgewise fixed appliances with MBT prescription and 0.022'' x 0.028'' slot size bracket) and placement of the initial leveling and aligning archwires (0.014 superelastic nickel titanium).

case_images: fig6
case_images: In the initial phases of treatment, the permanent molars were banded, and upper and lower preadjusted, edgewise, fixed appliances with MBT prescription (3 M gemini MBT 0.022'' x 0.028'' slot size brackets) were placed (Figure 6).

case_images: In the maxillary arch, to provide room for the canine teeth, a 0.018 stainless steel archwire with a Nitinol coil spring was placed between the first and second premolars (Figure 7).
case_images: Powerchain from the upper right first premolar to left first premolar to close diastema.

case_images: fig8
case_images: Along with closing the diastema and moving the upper first premolars into the canine position, we used a power chain on braces from the right first premolar to the left first premolar (Figure 8). Steel colligation was used on the upper first and second premolars to avoid teeth rotation (Figure 8).

case_images: After 12 months, piggyback 0.012 NiTi over 0.018 stainless steel archwire was placed to bring the right canine to the arch in the position of first premolar (Figure 9).
case_images: Both upper right and left canines included.

case_images: Both upper right and left canines were then included from 0.014 NiTi archwire up to 0.019 x 0.025 stainless steel archwire, with palatal root torque at the canines (Figure 10).

case_images: fig11
case_images: Power chain was used from the mandibular right first molar to the left first molar, and an L-shape elastic chain (1/4 3 M medium force 4 oz) from the lower canine to the upper molar on both sides (Figure 11).

case_images: After 36 months of active treatment, the maxillary and mandibular fixed appliances were removed and the posttreatment records such as a panoramic radiograph (Orthophos XG), cephalometric X-rays (Orthophos XG), impressions, and photographs (Canon mark II with 90 mm macrolens) were taken to assess whether the treatment objectives were achieved (Figures 12 and 13).
