Ectopic eruption and severe root resorption

Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop. 2003 Mar;123(3):259-65. doi: 10.1067/mod.2003.11.

Abstract

The treatment of a patient with maxillary canine-central incisor transposition is presented. Treatment options were limited because the roots of the maxillary right lateral and central incisors had severe resorption and generalized shortening. The multidisciplinary approach and treatment sequence used to achieve an esthetic and functional result are discussed in this case report.
