It becomes more mandatory in cases where there are anterior teeth/tooth losses and during orthodontic treatment may lead to psychosocial problems. One of the rare conditions is the Binder Syndrome, which is, one of the rare conditions that shows midline cleft and at times missing premaxilla consequence of which is missing anterior teeth. Orthodontic treatment aimed at alignment of teeth while maintaining space for prosthesis of the missing anterior teeth becomes an integral part of patient management in such cases. Utilizing the riding pontics during Orthodontic treatment helps in reducing the pychological trauma particularly in patients with Binder Syndrome.
