Progress of a patient with incomplete transposed between #6 & 7 and complete transposed of #10 & 11

Tooth transposition occurs when adjacent teeth switch position, especially the roots, or when a tooth develops or erupts in a position normally occupied by another tooth. It can be complete transposition (the roots are completely switched) or incomplete transposition (the crowns are switched but not the roots). It occurs much more often in the maxilla than the mandible and most common among the canines and lateral incisors or premolars. Treatment of teeth transposition depends on case-to-case basis.
