A large overjet is a well‐recognised predisposing factor to traumatic injuries of upper incisor teeth. In order to reduce this risk factor, early reduction of an increased overjet has been recommended. This was attempted, but unfortunately was unsuccessful and further trauma resulted in loss of the upper central incisor teeth.
