Abstract
|
|
|
|
Maxillary canine is one of the most frequently impacted teeth after third molar. This case report presents two patients with horizontal impacted maxillary canines treated by orthodontic traction. A 10-year old boy presented with a chief complaint of the impacted maxillary left canine and a 9-year old boy was referred with bilateral impacted maxillary canines. Impacted canines of both patients showed labially directed horizontal angulation. Impacted canines were treated and aligned by twice sequential surgical exposures. After treatment, both cases showed favorable aligning and root parallelism of the impacted canine.
