. Dental impaction represents the group of isolated dental anomalies characterized by retention of a tooth with a fully formed root in the jaw bone, after the eruption period has passed. This anomaly may affect deciduous teeth, permanent or supernumerary teeth causing aesthetic and / or functional disorders. Case report. The case presents a clinical situation of a girl who presented two maxillary teeth impacted (a central incisor and a cuspid) who underwent surgical exposure and orthodontic treatment for their arch alignments. Conclusions. Impacted teeth may produce dental malpositions or root resorption of the adjacent teeth, cysts or chronic local infections, which carry out a surgical orthodontic treatment, complex and for a long term, depending on the clinical situation existing.
