Abstract
Orthodontic and periodontic management of a patient with bilaterally i mpacted maxillary canines and advanced resorption of the adjacent late ral incisors is presented. In treating the patient, the affected later als were retained and the canines were surgically exposed, then moved away from the roots of the laterals and into position in the arch. Alt ernative treatment strategies are discussed. Long-term follow-up evalu ation revealed successful maintenance of the dentition and of periodon tal health.
