Management of Multiple Impacted Maxillary Teeth: A Case Report

For many years, diagnosing and managing multiple impacted teeth has been a challenge for orthodontists. To effectively manage such complex cases, an interdisciplinary approach is required. The outcome will be favorable and aesthetically pleasing if the proper orthodontic treatment plan and surgical approach are chosen. An 11-year-old female patient presented to our orthodontic clinic with her parents. Upon clinical examination, the maxillary left central incisor, lateral incisor, and canine bilaterally had not erupted (teeth #13, 21, 22, 23). The case was managed by surgical exposure and orthodontic treatment. The treatment of impacted teeth is crucial for both esthetics and functionality, and it requires the expertise of several clinicians. The successful treatment of impacted teeth depends on precise localization, cautious soft tissue management, optimal surgical approach selection, and controlled orthodontic traction in direction and force.
