To determine the condition and position of the impaction is very important in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Also during the evaluation of the impacted maxillary canines, the matter is considered only one dimension. When the treatment plannings which are made according to this evaluation, the impacted canine teeth which are tried to be included to the occlusion may be seen pulpal reactions and/or periodontal destructions, In this study, we aimed to the impacted maxillary canine positions to evaluate in a suitable position in all three dimensions, unnecessary trauma will be prevented.
