Abstract Background The present case report describes the orthodontic management of a patient who presented with a skeletal Class III malocclusion combined with other dental anomalies. The malocclusion was complicated by agenic maxillary lateral incisors and a lower right second premolar, in company with the transposition of the maxillary canines and premolars. Methods Dentoalveolar compensation of the anteroposterior jaw relationship was performed. The upper deciduous lateral incisors were extracted and the spaces closed, so that the first premolars replaced the missing lateral incisors while the canine transposition was maintained Results Satisfactory results were obtained which provided an improvement in function and occlusal stability, as well as smile and profile aesthetics. Conclusion This case demonstrates the importance of an accurate diagnosis when many treatment options are available and clearly addressed.
