Abstract

Variety of clinical complications occurs due to the presence of supernumerary teeth, especially mesiodens. It may result in impaction of one or both central incisors which in turn may lead to a variety of malocclusions. Timely intervention not only prevents malocclusion but also the time taken for corrective orthodontics. A complete case report of developing mesiodens' tooth germ resulting in malocclusion including treatment in 1½ year period is presented.

Keywords: Anterior malocclusion; interceptive orthodontics; supernumerary tooth.
