Topic:
Treatment time and mechanics required to solve palatally impacted canines are usually challenging.
Different biomechanics and protocol approaches are available, and among these, the
use of skeletal anchorage as reactive unit can be noteworthy. The purpose of this article is to
show a treatment of a palatally impacted canine by the means of a double miniscrew and
cantilever system only. Two miniscrews with bracket heads were applied in a 16 years old
patient; different cantilevers were used to solve the impaction and bring the canine in the right
position. Results: the impacted canine was successfully moved into proper position with good
three-dimensional control. Both miniscrews worked successfully as anchorage for the entire
treatment. The palatally impacted canine was successfully treated utilizing two miniscrews and
cantilever approach.
