Abstract

Fifteen years old male patient reported with ectopically erupted upper canines with severe lower anterior crowding and Class II malocclusion. First premolars were extracted to correct ectopic position of upper canines and severe lower anterior crowding. Segmental 0.017×0.025” TMA T-loop was used in upper arch for individual canine retraction & ideal position bilaterally. Mid-treatment results showed ectopic position of upper canines was corrected, lower anterior crowding relieved with improved inclination of upper and lower incisors. Correction of ectopically erupted upper canines was achieved within 7 months & currently the patient is on space closure.
