This case report presents the successful orthodontic repositioning of a transmigrated and lingually positioned mandibular canine with conventional mechanics. Treatment began with the aim of creating space for the four permanent canines that had not yet erupted. Cervical headgear, mesial slice, and extraction of the deciduous teeth were executed, but only the right canines erupted; moreover, the mandibular left canine had become lingually transmigrated. Multibracket therapy was performed with the orthodontic repositioning of both left canines in 2 steps. They were repositioned, and good alignment was obtained. To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing the orthodontic repositioning of a lingually transmigrated canine with conventional double-arch mechanics. This treatment was successful and without significant complications, even though this approach can be challenging and time-consuming.
