Abstract
Orthodontic tooth movement of total buccally blocked-out canine is usually difficult as it is related with the problems of severe crowding, midline deviation, involvement of long root movement and risk of gingival recession. A case report was presented to illustrate the treatment principles. It demonstrated with careful planning in extraction sequence and orthodontic mechanics to deliver light, controlled force, condition of totally blocked out canine could be corrected with good results.

Summary
Orthodontic management of a total buccally blocked-out canine is very challenging as it is related to a variety of problems. Abstract Orthodontic tooth movement of total buccally blocked-out canine is usually difficult as it is related with the problems of severe crowding, midline deviation, involvement of long root movement and risk of gingival recession. Treatment performed Orthodontic treatment was started with initial alignment of teeth with upper and lower 0.014 inch NiTi archwires, left maxillary first premolar (14) and right mandibular first premolar (44) were extracted.
