MATERIAL AND METHOD: The case report is of a 14 years old female patient with bilateral persistence of maxillary deciduous canines followed by impaction of the permanent canines. Fixed orthodontic braces were applied for providing enough space for placement of the permanent canines until the oral surgery intervention.

CONCLUSION: Not only the compliance and truest by the patient, but the cooperation between the orthodontics and oral surgery proved to be highly important and necessary during the concept of the interdisciplinary treatment of bilateral impacted maxillary canines.
