Abstract

The aim of this article was to report a clinical case of orthodontic treatment in a patient with Class II malocclusion and ankylosis of a maxillary first molar. Surgical luxation was performed, followed immediately by traction with an orthodontic arch with straps. The results obtained were satisfactory, and occlusal equilibrium was improved.
