Dealing with impacted maxillary teeth can be quite challenging for dental professionals. Palatal impaction of maxillary canines is a common developmental anomaly requiring coordinated periodontal–orthodontic management. Surgical exposure aims to facilitate orthodontic traction while preserving attached gingiva, periodontal health, and aesthetics. Among available approaches, the closed eruption technique is widely advocated for palatally impacted canines due to its ability to simulate physiologic eruption and achieve favourable long-term soft tissue outcomes. This case report describes the management of bilateral palatally impacted maxillary canines using a periodontal surgical approach.
