Maxillary tooth transposition: A report of two cases

Among eruption anomalies, tooth transposition is considered the most difficult to manage clinically and represent a real challenge for the clinician. Uncorrected, the results are often both functionally and esthetically unsatisfactory. Treatment of this anomaly varies from acceptance to correction and should take into account aspects, such as age, dental morphology, malocclusion, facial esthetics, stage of root development, position of root apices, and magnitude of the transposition. Acceptance of the transposition is the predominating treatment strategy in case reports in the literature. Our aim in this article is to present two cases with complete maxillary canine first premolar transposition where the transposition was corrected.
