These canine teeth sometimes fail to erupt properly, because they are displaced into the roof of the mouth or palate. These are known as palatally displaced canines, PDC, (Brin et al., 1986, Ericson and Kurol, 1987). In addition to failing to erupt, displaced teeth can cause problems, such as damage to the roots or displacement of the neighbouring teeth (Ericson and Kurol, 1988a, Ericson and Kurol, 2000, Falahat et al., 2008). It has been suggested that if the primary ('baby' or 'milk') canine is extracted at an appropriate time in a child with a suspected palatally displaced canine, then the displaced tooth might spontaneously correct its position (Ericson and Kurol, 1988b) and the extraction of the baby canine when a clinician suspects that the adult canine i
