Abstract
Dental traumas affect primarily the upper central incisors. The risk is particularly high in cases with protrusive maxillary teeth. Often the trauma will happen in a young patient when the root is not completely formed. With all the complications that can occur on a short-term and also on a long-term, it is legitimate to ask the question of feasibility of orthodontic treatment following a dental trauma. In this article, presenting a clinical case, we will demonstrate that not only is it possible but also that there is a need for orthodontics to minimize the risk of another dental trauma at a later time.
