What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness and patient experiences of two surgical techniques for treating palatally impacted maxillary canines. One technique involves a novel closed exposure method with additional bone removal, while the other is a conventional method without bone removal. The study aims to compare these techniques in terms of treatment effectiveness and the anchorage situation for incisors. Participants will receive either treatment and their experiences, particularly regarding pain and discomfort, will be assessed.
