A 14-year-old man requests ortho because of crowding lower anterior and UR missing lateral (Fig.4).  Black lines represent bracketing at UR1 and 3 to control root torque.  Take parallel PA for UR1 and 3 prior to banding.  In fact PA is taken 5 months post banding (Fig.9).  The roots of neighboring teeth are parallel with new bone formation behind.  The mesiodistal space is similar to that of the tooth #10 following consolidation of diastemata on the left.  More space is gained 12 months post banding (Fig.10).
