Yeh HY, Chang CH, Roberts WE
HISTORY AND ETIOLOGY
A 13-year-10-month-old boy was referred by his dentist for orthodontic consultation (Fig. 1). His chief concern was a maxillary dental midline discrepancy (Figures 2, 3). There was no contributory medical or dental history. Clinical exam indicated that the permanent maxillary left canine was impacted (Fig. 2). A specific plan for surgical exposure and orthodontic traction was proposed to guide the impacted canine to an appropriate location in the dental arch. The patient was treated to an acceptable result as documented in Figures 4-9. The details for diagnosis and treatment will be discussed below. (Int J Orthod Implantol 2012;25:18-31)
