Space will then be given to diagnostic analysis that Is fundamental to treat a case with serial extraction: this is not only dental oriented but also facial oriented in growing patients. The advantages of this procedure will be analyzed if inclusion criteria and timing will be respect. Clinical case will be presented with the purpose to explain the concept of severe crowding and its early treatment so the malocclusion in place don't get worse in growing patient; moreover follow up controls are been underline to show the efficacy of treatment so that the final goal is to obtain an ideal occlusion with a good facial esthetic with balance and harmony between hard tissue and soft tissue without crowding with the health of periodontal tissue. The role of specialist in orthodontist is fundamental in the treatment of these clinical cases.
