RESUMO
Tooth transposition presents a major challenge in the correction of a malocclusion. A dental transposition is an uncommon disturbance affecting 0.4% of the population, yet the treatment difficulties make this anomaly an occurrence of orthodontic interest and a source of clinical interest. This case report shows the unilateral transposition of a maxillary canine with a lateral incisor that was treated by orthodontically reversing the transposed tooth positions. An analysis of the clinical concerns in the treatment of this problem is presented.
