INTRODUCTION: Maxillary canine-first premolar transposition (Mx.C.P1) is an uncommon dental
positional anomaly that may create many orthodontic problems from both esthetic
and functional points of view. OBJECTIVE: In this report we show the orthodontic management of a case of Mx.C.P1 associated
with bilateral maxillary lateral incisor agenesis and unilateral mandibular second
premolar agenesis METHODS: The patient was treated with a multibracket appliance and the extraction of the
lower premolar. RESULTS: treatment was completed without the need for any prosthetic replacement.
