Abstract

A transposed tooth is one which is changed in positional location to an adjacent tooth, or one which is erupting in a position normally occupied by a non-adjacent tooth. This article is a series of case reports demonstrating correction of transposed canines, including impacted canines in cases of high difficulty levels.
