Abstract

Lower incisor extraction can be regarded as an excellent option in view of the orthodontic results obtained in terms of function, aesthetics and stability. The aim of this study was to gather information about the indications, contraindications, advantages, disadvantages and stability of the results achieved in treatments performed with lower incisor extraction. The literature suggests this method affords improved post-treatment stability compared with premolar extraction. As well as careful diagnosis guided by a diagnostic set-up, professional skills and clinical experience are essential in achieving a successful result with this treatment option
