Surgical exposure and fix orthondontic combination for maxilla canine impacted treatment

Objective: Teeth that are buried in the jawbone or obstructed by gum tissue and fail to emerge from the typical occlusive surface, causing malocclusion, are known as impacted teeth. Canine teeth are kept for masticatory function strength, aesthetics, and malocclusion repair. Impacted canines can be retrieved using a combination of surgery and fixed orthodontic equipment to restore a normal arch and position Methods: An impacted maxillary left canine caused edema in the palatal area in a 22-year-old female patient at RSKGM-P UNAIR who was referred by orthodontics. The impacted tooth's position was determined using radiography, occlusal projection, and CBCT. The procedures included flap surgery with a full thickness incision, flap opening, orthodontic button insertion on the crown of the buried canine, ligature wire implantation, and flap repositioning and suturing. Results: Combined surgical technique and orthodontic appliance placement on impacted canines can place canines in normal arches and in the space available and in the occlusive position of the teeth, Surgical exposure combined with fixed orthodontic treatment of the affected maxillary surgery on the left maxillary canine was performed. Conclusion: In terms of the ultimate position of the canines in the normal arch and aesthetic appearance, a combination of surgical exposure and fixed orthodontic treatment of the impacted maxillary left canine produced good results.
