Abstract
Maxillary central incisor impaction is one of the most common types of dental anomalies in children. Treatment of impacted central incisors is complicated and challenging given the position of the impacted central incisors, root development, and the complexity of the crown eruption direction. This study aimed to describe the use of a new multifunctional appliance for the treatment of impacted maxillary central incisors. This article reports the use of a novel appliance for the treatment of impacted maxillary central incisors. We describe the cases of two young patients with labial horizontally impacted maxillary central incisors. Both patients were treated using this novel appliance. Therapeutic effects were evaluated by comparing the pretreatment results, posttreatment cone-beam computed tomography images, and posttreatment clinical examination results. At the end of the treatment period using the novel appliance, the impacted central incisors had successfully been properly aligned in the dental arch, and the tooth roots had not resorbed. Both patients exhibited good dental alignment, with restored function and acceptable aesthetics. This article demonstrates that the new appliance was comfortable, convenient, safe, and effective in the treatment of impacted maxillary central incisors and that its clinical use should be promoted in the future.
