The upper and lower canines were extracted and the distal of the laterals and the mesial of the first premolars were bonded to close the space. The second photo is one week following extraction. Cosmetic bonding was placed before the teeth were extracted so the patient never had to show the space between her teeth. Refer to other images in this series.
