A 9-year-old girl, in good health, presented a horizontal impaction of the upper left central incisor. History revealed that the patient had been involved in a trauma of the maxillary anterior portion during her childhood. This impacted tooth crown, which was exposed surgically, was bonded by plastic attachments of direct bonding system, and was carefully tried to induce on the dental arch. On the process of the orthodontic treatment the tooth was completely induced and in normal alignment on the arch. The treatment result was very satisfactory; color, vitality, and mobility were normal, periodontal support was good and the cosmetic result was excellent.
