Abstract

The maxillary canines are important teeth in terms of esthetics and function. This case report describes the orthodontic treatment of a 12-year-old girl whose Class II malocclusion was complicated by an impacted maxillary canine and peg-shaped lateral incisors. Despite dilaceration of the root, the impacted canine was brought into alignment. The peg-shaped lateral incisors were extracted, and the spaces were closed, resulting in favorable esthetics and good occlusion in the long term.
