초록
Inverted maxillary incisor is that maxillary incisor rotates to the counterclockwise direction. The incisal margin and root apex of the impacted incisor is palpated at the mucobuccal fold near the labial frenum and on the palate among the rugae, respectively. Orthodontists confront ectopically erupting teeth in various locations. In the past, extraction of impacted teeth that deviated from their normal course of eruption had been performed indiscriminately. But, if it has not any clearcut contraindications, effeort should be made to achieve optimal esthetic results by conservative means, combining the skills of oral surgeon and orthodontist. The present report provides an illustration of satisfactory correction of a inverted maxillary incisor with surgical intervention and many springs that correct the tooth axis. This technique provides the clinician with an additional means to avoid unnecessary extraction of inverted teeth in certain cases.
