Orthodontic Management of Mandibular Lateral Incisor-Canine Transposition in Pediatric Patient: a rare case

Mandibular lateral incisor and canine (Mn.I2.C) transposition is a dental anomaly characterized by the positional exchange of these teeth. This condition can lead to aesthetic and functional complications, as well as impede the eruption of adjacent teeth. Early diagnosis is crucial, as it allows for timely intervention and improves treatment outcomes. Management options include orthodontic correction, extraction of the transposed teeth, alignment, or maintaining their position based on clinical considerations. Practitioners must consider factors such as the patient’s age, dental arch dimensions, and potential impacts on occlusion when determining the appropriate treatment plan for affected individuals. This case report aims to enhance the existing literature by focusing on the early identification and management of transposition between Mn.I2.C teeth.
