Abstract:
A mesiodens is a supernumerary tooth located in the maxillary anterior region. The overall prevalence of mesiodens ranges between 0.15% and 1.9%. In such instances, malocclusion in the maxillary incisor region is a common finding, and therefore, early intervention in the mixed dentition phase will promote the eruption and proper alignment of adjacent teeth. The present case report describes how mixed dentition treatment can be efficiently and effectively managed using a Hawley’s and 2x4 appliance.
