During childhood, the anterior maxilla is susceptible to injury, and the loss of incisors is one of the most serious injuries. In many cases, auto transplantation is the best alternative for children who lose an incisor during the growth phase. The sample will consist, of X patients having premolar transplant to incisor region, presenting total root development and closed apex. All patients will have complete orthodontic records: pair of models, cephalometric, panoramic, incisor periapical radiograph and four CT scans. CT scans and clinical assessments will be conducted in four different times: before starting orthodontic movement, 6, 12 and 18 months during orthodontic treatment. All dental movements are alignment and conventional leveling, using straight wire technique, MBT prescription, and will be performed by a single professional. The yarn sequence will be: Niti 0.12; Niti 0.14; Niti 0.16; Steel 0.16; Steel 0.18; Steel 0.20. The premolar transplant to incisor region is a unique treatment to allow a normal vertical growth, in young patient who loses permanent incisor during childhood. And if the patient comes to lose the tooth by a resorption replacement process, the bone in the region has been preserved, enabling the installation of a future implant if it is necessary.
