Treatment of impacted canines through early detection and surgical and orthodontic management can allow these teeth to erupt and guide them to their proper location in the dental arch. The treatment is of interest to general and specialist dentists including orthodontists, periodontists, pediatric dentists and oral surgeons since these teeth have a fundamental role in occlusion and aesthetics. The diagnosis must be made through a thorough clinical and radiographic evaluation to determine the best surgical approach to perform. The approaches to the canines retained by the palate can be open or closed technique and also allow the spontaneous eruption of the canine or through the application of orthodontic traction forces.
