REYNA LEYVA, Adis Mirtha et al. Surgical-orthodontic therapy on adults with multiple supernumerary teeth. ccm [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.2, pp. 346-352. ISSN 1560-4381.

A 39 years old female patient, with no medical records, comes to dentistry consulting because of a temporal tooth loss. During the intraoral physical examination the absence of the 13 tooth was corroborated, and the recently exfoliation of a teeth with a considerable diminish of space between the left upper lateral incisor and the left first upper bicuspid were corroborated. The x-rays showed radiopacity, located between the lateral incisor and the first upper bicuspid of the left hemi-arcade, suggesting several dental organs. Due to functional, aesthetic and psychological influencies on the patient, and the presence of a moderated negative bone-teeth discrepancy, it was decided to practice surgical extraction of supernumerary teeth and the orthodontic correction. Surgical treatment was practiced without complications, and the patient showed a good postsurgical evolution. After a total recovery of the affected area, orthodontic movement began. It allowed an optimum aesthetic and functional outcome.
