Step-By-Step Traction of a Palatally Impacted Canine

Two-phase treatment of a mixed-dentition patient with a palatally impacted canine is described and illustrated. After surgical exposure of the canine, the authors perform distal traction with miniscrew anchorage to relieve the obstruction caused by the adjacent lateral incisor. Under the guidance of cone-beam computed tomography, the canine is then moved into appropriate position for forced eruption into the arch.
