- Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the success rate of treatment of impacted and displaced maxillary canines treated with fixed and removable appliances. There were 42 study subjects, 30 female (71.5%) and 12 male (28.5%), with the age range 12 years to 33 years. The decision for selecting the patients for fixed or removable appliances was made after examination of patients, x-rays, model analysis and whether it was a simple or complicated impaction. The oral hygiene of all two groups was fairly good and almost at the same level. Complicated impactions were treated with fixed appliances and simple impactions with removable appliance. The total number of impacted canines treated with fixed appliances were 34 (80.9 %) and 8 (19.1%) with removable appliances.
