Abstract

Labial displacement of permanent maxillary canines is most frequently associated with insufficient space of arch, any permanent tooth can be ectopic, and its cause could be both genetic/environmental. To achieve aesthetics orthodontic treatment is justifiable. Time management is important for diagnosing and planning of ectopically erupted teeth. The most frequent aftereffect is internal or exterior root resorption of teeth next to the ectopic canine. Without extraction, malocclusion with crowding is challenging to correct. This article describes a case of chairside CEREC (Chair-side Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic) crown placement and orthodontic aesthetic care of a labially erupted canine using ceramic brackets.
