The presence of mandibular supernumerary premolars in two patients is reported. These teeth were discovered from panoramic oral radiographs during routine orthodontic assessment. The specific location of these teeth has a strong implication in the management of these cases. In the two cases reported, surgical removal is required prior to orthodontic treatment. A discussion is also made for the identification, location and surgical removal of these supernumerary teeth.
