abstract: The etiology and treatment of impacted first maxillary molars has been reported. Appliance selection criteria, as well as treatment planning considerations have also been discussed. Although impacted first maxillary molars can be treated with either fixed or removable orthodontic appliances, the selection of the appliance should be based on the overall severity of the malocclusion.
