Abstract
As it is known, upper central incisors erupt in most cases at 7 years old. Some factors such as, lack of space, supernumerary tooth, cysts or tumors will produce rotations. An early diagnosis will decrease the need of a complex treatment and prevent the situation worsens. The ideal timing to treat this malocclusion is when upper central incisors start to erupt, it can be done in many ways.The two most common options are fixed or removable appliances. After evaluating different alternatives it was proven that the best one is through fixed appliances. The advantage of this method is that treatment effectiveness will not depend on the patient.
