Abstract:
This review will discuss the influence of various factors on the time taken to orthodontically align a palatally displaced maxillary permanent canine following surgical exposure. Previously unpublished data from a clinical trial, involving participants with unilateral PDC randomly allocated to either a closed or open surgical exposure, will be included to strengthen the debate.
