Impaction of maxillary permanent central incisor is a frequently reported case in dental practice, and its treatment is challenging because maxillary central incisors are of great important for both aesthetic and functional aspects, since they provide support of the lip and facial muscles. Early detection of such teeth is most important if complications are to be avoided. In this article, we report a case of a 12-year-old girl, in the Pediatric Dentistry Specialist, Dental and Oral Hospital, Airlangga University. Combined approach with surgical exposure and the application of an orthodontic force brought the impacted left maxillary central incisor down to its proper position in the dental arch.
