Objective: This case report describes the interdisciplinary treatment of a 10-year-old girl with asymmetric Class III malocclusion, severe maxillary crowding, and bilaterally impacted maxillary canines. Clinical considerations: The clinical decision-making factors regarding treatment alternatives and the final treatment plan are discussed. A two-phase nonextraction therapy was implemented to relieve severe crowding, eliminate the maxillary canine impactions, and compensate for skeletal Class III malocclusion. The first treatment phase involved aligning the left canine through conventional orthodontic traction, while the more deeply horizontally impacted right canine was corrected through transalveolar transplantation. In the second phase, the Class III dental relationship was corrected through mandibular molar retraction. The effective use of various temporary skeletal anchorage devices such as modified c-palatal plates and mini-implants was illustrated. Conclusions: At the end of the treatment, esthetic dental alignment was achieved, along with improved facial balance. The transplanted maxillary right canine showed good health and a favorable long-term prognosis over six years after the procedure. |
