case_images: The patient had full complement set of teeth, which had yellowish fluorosis stains [Figure 1]. Two mesiodens were present, one palatal and the other labial to 11 and 21 resulting in proclination and rotation of the maxillary central incisors [Figures 1 and 2].

case_images: The occlusion and arrangement of anterior teeth was disturbed both in maxillary and mandibular arch due to the presence of mesiodentes [Figures 3 and 4]. No other supernumerary teeth or abnormalities were observed in the OPG examination [Figure 3]. The lateral cephalogram examination was explored to rule out the possibility of crossover of mesiodens from labial to palatal side and also the direction of eruption of mesiodens [Figure 3].

case_images: The occlusion and arrangement of anterior teeth was disturbed both in maxillary and mandibular arch due to the presence of mesiodentes [Figures 3 and 4]. The periodontal ligament shadow was clear around both teeth ruling out ankylosis [Figure 4].

case_images: It was decided to evaluate the case after alignment to make a choice between first and second premolars for extraction to improve the esthetics as well as function [Figure 5].
