Twelve months post extraction and banding, there is anterior overjet.  A posted wire is used to retract the upper incisors for a month.  It appears that the upper midline deviates to the right (Fig.6, as compared to Fig.5 (pre-treatment)).  Closed coil spring is removed on the right (Fig.9) in hope that the upper midline will shift to the normal by the left coil spring.  Is there a better alternative?  LL3 is being de-rotated with rotation wedge and .014 niti wire.
