Aim: To present a case report of orthodontic traction of impacted incisors that promoted occlusion correction, aesthetic and functional improvement and self-esteem increase. Case report: A 13-year-old patient, dissatisfied with her smile due to the absence of upper central incisors, presented 5 supernumerary teeth, posterior dental crossbite, Class III molar relationship and Class I canine relationship. The treatment consisted of extracting the supernumerary teeth, orthodontic traction of the upper central incisors, transverse interarch adjustment and sagittal correction with Class III intermaxillary elastics. After 5 years, there was an ideal occlusion pattern with Class I molar and canine relationships, coincident midlines, satisfactory overbite, and overjet, and mutually protected bilateral occlusion. Discussion: Even though there is another possible treatment plan for this case, the orthodontic traction was chosen due to the possibility of solving more immediately the patient's occlusal and aesthetic complaints. Conclusion: Orthodontic treatment with traction of impacted incisors promoted satisfactory occlusion, significant improvement in the smile aesthetics and in her self-esteem.
