In case 1 the crown of the permanent tooth was exposed and orthodontic traction performed and in case 2, a waiting period of at least 6 months for spontaneous eruption of permanent tooth was expected. After 8 months it was necessary the orthodontic traction because the tooth had not erupted. In both cases the correct alignment of the upper incisors was achieved, the final occlusion was satisfactory and periapical radiographs revealed no pathological signs. </span></em><strong><em><span style="font-size: 8.0pt; font-family: Calibri-BoldItalic; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri-BoldItalic; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">Conclusion</span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 8.0pt; font-family: Calibri-Italic; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri-BoldItalic; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri-Italic; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">: The satisfactory results confirmed the advantages of these approaches, which restored the esthetics and oral function of these two young patients.</span></em></p> ER -
