Abstract
The canines are important
teeth as regards function, occlusion and aesthetics as they support the lip and
facial muscles, as an important guidepost in occlusion, as tissue support at
the corner of the mouth and their position is in the turning point of the
dental arch. Impaction of maxillary canine affects the occlusion and may even
influence the psychological development of the patient. In the literature, at
present, different guidelines for management of impacted maxillary canines can
be encountered. In this article, we report a case of orthodontically guided
eruption of impacted maxillary canine on left side and alignment of highly placed
canine on right side.
