Due to limited time and incompliance, the mesialization is incomplete (Fig.3 *).  Total treatment lasts 1 year.  The mesial surface of the #29 (Fig.3 <) and the distal surface of #31 are trimmed before incision.  The mesiodistal width increases from 5 mm to 6 mm.  In fact the ridge is not too narrow buccolingually when an incision is made (Fig.3).  There is bone buccal and lingual to a 2.5 mm osteotomy (Fig.3) after adjustment of its initial one with 1.2 mm pilot drill (Fig.2 (red dashed line: the Mental Loop).
