40 minutes

Abstract:
​
Ectopic teeth are not an infrequent encounter in orthodontic practice. These cases could be encountered in a variety of situations and impaction, transposition and mal position are only examples. The orthodontist is sometimes faced with a variety of treatment options and the decision is usually based on the position and the risk factors.
Treatment plan for complete transposition of the canine often entails keeping the canines in its erupting position, accepting the transposition and finishing the treatment accordingly and in conjunction with other complementary dental procedures. The great antero-posterior distance of canine movement in order to correct the teeth order in cases of complete transposition is sometime a challenge. Factors that will help potentiate the success of correction should be carefully considered while planning the treatment of such cases.
The orthodontists should be able to handle and is responsible for dealing with each and all of these issues.
