MANDIBULAR CANINE TRANSMIGRATION: DIAGNOSTIC & MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE FOR ORTHODONTISTS – A CASE

Bilateral transmigration of mandibular canines is a clinically unusual phenomenon. For good canine directed occlusion, lower canines must be repositioned to their proper location. It's virtually impossible to traction and correct such ectopically erupted teeth with orthodontics.

After extracting over-retained bilateral mandibular primary canines and right lower primary second molar in a 14-year-old girl, we present a case of bilateral transmigration of mandibular canines positioned vertically in the midline (Type 5 pattern of Mupparapu classification).
