Most of the patients approach the orthodontist with their prime issue being their appearance. The patient expects the treatment to improve their overall appearance which in turn increases the acceptance by their peers. A 14 year old female report with a chief complain of irregularly placed teeth in upper and lower front region of jaw. After detailed diagnosis her treatment was planned wherein over retained 53 was extracted followed by correction of buccally erupting 13 and correction of crowding and improvement in airway was achieved. Titanium molybdenum (TMA) segmental T loop was used to retract 13. Post-treatment records revealed that treatment objectives were achieved and patient was satisfied with the treatment.
