Background: Correction of partially impacted canine cases in orthodontics is very challenging without the extraction of premolars. According to Buchin, any case is borderline when extraction of permanent teeth is required for an ideal and functional occlusion, but facial esthetics might get disturbed due to extraction, so a dichotomy exists diagnosis and treatment planning of borderline cases. This case report describes a case of young Indian female having buccally placed, partially impacted canine of maxilla. This case was managed with a combination of non-extraction and DAMON philosophy using ceramic self-ligating bracket system.
Keywords: Partially Impacted, Buccally placed canine, Non-extraction, Ceramic self-ligating, DAMON.
