Abstract
Impaction of the maxillary permanent central incisor is not a common occurrence in dental practice, but it
is difficult to treat due to its importance in facial aesthetics. It is critical to detect such teeth early if
complications are to be avoided. A 14-year-old female with an impacted central incisor tooth in the
maxillary anterior region has been described. The impacted left maxillary central incisor was moved to its
proper position in the dental arch using a combined approach that included surgical exposure and the
application of an orthodontic force.
