Abstract
IntroductionTreatment of a case with impacted canines is complex and numerous options are available ranging from disimpaction to forced eruption. ObjectiveThe objective of this case report was to describe the treatment of a 19-year-old male, with a skeletal Class II, dental Class II Division 1 malocclusion, prognathic maxilla, proclined maxillary incisors, with missing left maxillary central incisor and bilateral mandibular canine impaction. MethodologyThe orthodontic treatment plan included forced eruption of the impacted canines and conversion of maxillary left lateral incisor to central incisor. ConclusionProper diagnosis and implementation of orthodontic biomechanics can minimize the amount of prosthetic and surgical intervention needed in the management of transmigrated canine and smile designing.
