This case presents the effective non-extraction orthodontic treatment of a 13-year-old boy with crowding in both upper and lower arches and deep bite. The patient's chief complaint was irregularly placed maxillary anterior teeth. The active treatment duration lasted for 10 months, which resulted in the successful alleviation of arch crowding and correction of the deep bite without the extraction of any sound erupted tooth. Posttreatment, all of the patient's chief complaints were relieved. Essix retainers were fitted post-debonding, with instructions for the patient to wear them for the subsequent year to maintain the achieved results. This case highlights the efficacy of non-extraction orthodontic strategies in addressing crowding and deep bite issues, drawing the importance of individualized treatment plans to achieve optimal outcomes.
