To determine factors associated with treatment duration in impacted maxillary canines (IMCs) using orthopantomography and cone beam computed tomography. Seventeen linear angular measurements were evaluated pretreatment radiographic images of 64 patients (83 IMCs). Treatment from surgical exposure until the canine appeared oral cavity achieving ideal alignment recorded months. Average appearance mouth was 14.61 ± 9.28 months 26.98 12.44 alignment. Buccally emerged 6.56 3.24 ideally aligned 19.44 8.49 comparison palatally positioned at 16.34 9.19 28.91 12.77 months, respectively. Canines localized around lateral incisors had shorter times than those central incisors. that inclined >30° to sagittal medial line (SML) significantly longer time initial (16.31 9.32) compared less (10.82 8.92). Linear regression analyses demonstrated these predictors for both emergence canine. IMCs is lengthy, particularly mesially greater inclinations. Palatally located typically require twice as much emerge buccally. nearer incisor area take area.
