ABSTRACT
A misaligned tooth can cause serious aesthetic and functional challenges. Customized springs are indeed a practical remedy for aligning such teeth. The skill to provide an ideal system of forces to reach the desired movement, as well as the management of potential side effects, is directly linked to a successful outcome. One such approach is shown in this case report.
