  • Potential side effects included root resorption, possibly linked to treatment duration or incisor movement, and altered gingival contours requiring further management.

    • Implications:

    • Orthodontic treatment with surgical assistance can effectively resolve multiple impacted canines, avoiding the need for prosthetics.
    • Careful monitoring for complications like root resorption and gingival contour issues is crucial during and after treatment.
    • This approach offers a positive outcome, preserving natural dentition and improving patient quality of life.
