Orthodontic treatment is justifiable for aesthetic reasons. Subsequently a careful diagnosis along with a proper treatment plan for ectopically erupting permanent maxillary canines requires timely management by the orthodontist. The purpose of this case report is to illustrate an approach involving management using HANT wire.
