Abstract

Palatally impacted canines can lead to root resorption of adjacent incisors; root resorption can also result due to orthodontic treatment when unplanned orthodontic movements occur close to the incisors roots. Care should be taken during the first stages of tooth movements in order to avoid root resorption. The first tooth movement of the impacted canine should aim to take the canines away from the roots of incisors. This case report represents an example how we avoided root resorption of teeth adjacent to the impacted canine by taking the canines away by a modified transpalatal bar.
