Abstract
Introduction: Maxillary canines are crucial for the smile and facial esthetics, its impaction is a commonly seen condition which is always challenging to bring the tooth to the normal position. Case report: We present two case reports of a 13-year-old girl and a 12-year old boy with impacted left maxillary canine teeth. Thorough clinical examination and investigation was made with panoramic radiograph and CBCT, then surgical and orthodontic treatment was performed to correct impacted teeth and to achieve good aesthetic and functional results. Conclusion: The management of impacted canine requires skilful handling and careful observation. If any tooth is absent in the dental arch after the normal time of eruption has lapsed, the dentist must investigate and intervene as early as possible.
