| Summary: | ABSTRACT Justification: Canines represent corners in the dental arch, and are important features in facial esthetics, as they support the upper lip, wing of the nose, and influence the nasolabial fold and the appearance of facial aging. In the laterality movements, the canines guidance coordinate the opening and closing of the teeth, saving the TMJ from sudden movements. Discussion: As a result of the lack of eruption or the inadequate positioning of the maxillary canine, the loss of the laterality guide may occur, which will then occur in the maxillary lateral incisor, inducing lesions of "occlusal trauma", such as inflammatory root resorption. Likewise, without well positioned canines, there may be premature aging and change in facial esthetics. Conclusion: In order to avoid problems with eruption and positioning of the maxillary canines, early diagnosis is made by analyzing their position and their relationship with the other teeth, and in the three-dimensional context of the maxilla, between 8-10 years of age. Preventive measures can create bone space and direction so that the maxillary canines can occupy their position in the dental arch. |
