– This report presents a case of intrusive luxation of the immature left maxillary central incisor in an 8‐year‐old girl. Initially, it was decided to allow the intruded tooth to spontaneous re‐erupt because it had open apices. After 12 weeks of monitoring for spontaneous re‐eruption, there was no clinical evidence of its occurrence. Therefore, orthodontic extrusion was initiated. The intruded tooth was repositioned with a fixed multibracketed appliance. Twenty weeks after the beginning of orthodontic extrusion, the position of the intruded maxillary central incisor was restored to its original position before its displacement occurred. After 5 years, no clinical or radiographic pathology was detected and obliteration of the pulp canal of the intruded tooth was observed radiographically.
