Impacted teeth present numerous problems to the patient. The management of such cases require a multidisciplinary approach. This case series describes the surgical and orthodontic management of 3 cases with impacted permanent anterior teeth. The paper briefly summarizes the etiology, complications etc, associated with the impacted teeth. It also discusses the different surgical treatment options for the exposure of impacted teeth i.e open and the closed technique. The cases were followed up for varied time period.
