The treatment outcomes of impacted teeth resulting from trauma are often uncertain. The presence of root dilaceration and the displacement of the affected tooth increase the uncertainty regarding forced eruption, long-term prognosis, and stability. This paper presents the follow-up of a patient who presented with complete inversion (2 teeth were completely upside down, with the crowns facing the nasal floor and the roots toward the alveolar bone) and severe dilaceration of the maxillary central incisors resulting from dental trauma. The treatment involved a 2-stage surgical forced-eruption orthodontic technique, successfully repositioning both teeth in the arch and achieving good occlusal and periodontal results. The patient was 10 years old at the beginning of the treatment. A 20-year follow-up after the forced eruption showed maintenance of function, periodontal situation, and esthetics.
