title: Orthodontic treatment of a unilateral impacted mandibular canine and first premolar: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Few dentists have seen an impacted mandibular canine and first premolar, and there is little information in the literature on the treatment of this rare condition.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 13-year-old Japanese male with an impacted mandibular right canine and first premolar was treated orthodontically. We discuss both the surgical and orthodontic options and present the successful orthodontic correction of a unilaterally impacted mandibular canine and first premolar.
