Unerupted incisors: a case report illustrating an attractive solution.
A case is described in which, after removal of midline supernumerary teeth on two separate occasions, an unerupted central incisor was brought into the arch with the aid of neodymium-iron-boron magnets. Once the incisor was visible, a pre-adjusted upper edgewise appliance was used to guide the tooth into its correct position.
