What happens when we move incisors labially or lingually beyond the limits of the alveolar corridor? Is our orthodontic treatment responsible of gum recession, named the Monster, during and especially after treatment? Finally, cases with Self-Ligating Brackets and Reproximation show that we can correct a crowding and align the teeth with a fast and a safe orthodontic treatmentrn
