Abstract

Dealing with impacted maxillary teeth can be quite challenging for dental professionals. The advantage of using temporary anchorage devices (TADs) in the treatment of bilateral palatally impacted canines is the ability to exert more controlled and directed forces on the impacted tooth. Utilizing TADs might result in enhanced outcomes, including better tooth positioning within the dental arch and reduced risk of complications, such as root resorption. This article highlights the importance of diagnosis, adequate treatment planning for the eruption of impacted canines, and also managing tooth-arch size discrepancy to achieve a balanced occlusion and dental aesthetic. This is a case report on the interdisciplinary management of bilateral palatally impacted canines using mini-screws as TADs.
