Abstract:

Background Patients that present with a macrodont can require complicated treatment. Case summary: A 14 year old patient presented with Class II division 1 incisors on class I skeletal pattern with normal FMPA complicated by a macrodont lower incisor and impacted lower second premolar teeth. Management of macrodontic teeth can be very difficult to manage as they can be unsightly and dealing with space can be difficult to manage whether this is restorative or space closure. Conclusion(s): This case report illustrates that in the patients presenting with macrodontic teeth they can be treated with orthodontics without the complications of long-term restorative implications.
