Transposition is the exchange of the position of two adjacent teeth during the first years of the mixed dentition. The objective of this research is to evaluate the clinical changes of a case with partial bilateral transposition of mandibular lateral incisors. We present an 8-year-old white female patient with Class II Division 1 malocclusion and transposition of the lateral incisors with lower canines. She was treated with a 0.032 wire horizontal closure lingual arch and two NiTi springs compressed from the horizontal closure of the arch to an eyebolt welded to the band that was placed on both lateral incisors. The necessary space for the eruption of the lower canines was recovered, thus improving her dental and facial aesthetics.

Palabras clave : incisor; mouth abnormalities; esthetics, dental.
