Abstract

Introduction: Given the high prevalence of retained canines, the use of mini-implants is an effective therapeutic tool, offering absolute anchorage and allowing controlled movements without compromising adjacent teeth. Objective: To position a retained canine into the dental arch, establishing optimal dental relationships to provide good occlusal and articular function, and enhancing dental and facial aesthetics. Case report: Orthodontic management was performed on a 15-year-old female patient with a deep bite and the presence of a retained canine. A 2.5 x 1.6 x 8 mm DewimedÒ O.S.A.S. (Orthodontic Skeletal Anchorage System) self-drilling mini-implant was used for canine traction, and a standard 0.022” Damon™ Q (Ormco™ Amersfoort, Netherlands) fixed self-ligating appliance to establish a correct occlusion. Conclusion: The use of mini screws is an excellent therapeutic option in the management of retained teeth because they allow controlled movements, avoiding the effect of reciprocal forces.
