Transposition of a maxillary canine and a lateral incisor and use of cone-beam computed tomography for treatment planning

Abstract

This report describes the orthodontic treatment of a 12-year-old girl with transposition of the maxillary left canine and the lateral incisor. Cone-beam computed tomography was used during treatment planning. The transposed tooth positions were corrected with an unconventional orthodontic approach. Treatment alternatives and their clinical concerns are presented.
