Abstract
This case report describes the treatment of a boy with both central maxillary incisors impacted because of 2 supernumerary teeth. Therapeutic management of the impacted teeth was combined with orthodontic treatment of a Class II Division 1 malocclusion. A sequential approach of surgical removal of the supernumerary teeth with 2 stages of surgical exposure and orthodontic traction of the impacted teeth resulted in proper incisor positioning. Close monitoring and multidisciplinary cooperation during the various treatment phases led to a successful esthetic result, with good periodontal health and functional occlusion.
