Lower canine transmigration is a rare dental anomaly where the canine crosses the mandibular midline. Treatment methods include: extraction of the impacted tooth, autotransplantation or orthodontic insertion of the tooth into the dental arch. In the presented case a decision was made to insert the impacted tooth orthodontically into the arch. Good cooperation with parents, Mupparapu grade I canine retention and a safe distance from the roots of adjacent teeth spoke in favor of taking the treatment.

Key words: transmigration, lower canine, mandibular canine.
