Abstract :
Malocclusion in adolescence affects the patient psychologically but with correct diagnosis and modifications, it is easier to treat malocclusion in mixed dentition. Among malocclusion, rotation is difficult to correct and retain the correction due to the force from fies of the periodontal ligament. Rotation is a condition caused by intra–alveolar displacement of the tooth on its own longitudinal axis. Rotation of anterior teeth causes cosmetic issues and trauma from occlusion leading to periodontal issues. Correction of rotation can be done using removable or fixed treatment. In this case report, a female patient aged 9 years had a combination of deepbite and rotation. The deep bite was corrected using anterior bite plane. The derotation was achieved using elastics. The arch alignment was achieved using sectional orthodontics
