Abstract

A case of maxillary canine-lateral incisor complete transposition is presented. Treatment options for transposed teeth, including alignment in their transposed positions, extraction of one or both transposed teeth, and orthodontic alignment to their normal positions in the arch, are discussed. The orthodontic technique and sequence used in this challenging case to align the fully transposed teeth to their normal position in the dental arch are described.
