Treatment time and mechanics required to solve palatally impacted canines are usually challenging. Different biomechanics and protocol approaches are available, and among these, the use of skeletal anchorage as reactive unit can be noteworthy. The purpose of this article is to show a treatment of a palatally impacted canine by the means of a double miniscrew and cantilever system only. Two miniscrews with bracket heads were applied in a 16 years old patient; different cantilevers were used to solve the impaction and bring the canine in the right position. Results: the impacted canine was successfully moved into proper position with good three-dimensional control. Both miniscrews worked successfully as anchorage for the entire treatment. The palatally impacted canine was successfully treated utilizing two miniscrews and cantilever approach.

Abstract
Treatment time and mechanics required to solve palatally impacted canines are usually challenging. Different biomechanics and protocol approaches are available, and among these, the use of skeletal anchorage as reactive unit can be noteworthy. The purpose of this article is to show a treatment of a palatally impacted canine by the means of a double miniscrew and cantilever system only. Two miniscrews with bracket heads were applied in a 16 years old patient; different cantilevers were used to solve the impaction and bring the canine in the right position. Results: the impacted canine was successfully moved into proper position with good three-dimensional control. Both miniscrews worked successfully as anchorage for the entire treatment. The palatally impacted canine was successfully treated utilizing two miniscrews and cantilever approach.
