This case series illustrates the successful orthodontic management of previously root-fractured central incisors. Orthodontic treatment was carried out to correct the underlying malocclusion, remove traumatic occlusal forces and to provide a suitable occlusion for future restorative treatment should the root-fractured teeth be lost in the future. Clinical relevance: Dental trauma occurs commonly; having affected 10% of orthodontic patients. All practitioners should be able to discuss the possibility of orthodontic treatment with patients who have had previous trauma to their front teeth.
