The main aim of the present study is to present a rare case of mandibular canine transmigration in a young Moroccan patient.

The authors report one rare case of a young male patient diagnosed with mandibular canine transmigration at fifteen years old. Clinical examination of the patient revealed a type 5 transmigration according to Mupparapu's classification. Early detection of this anomaly can help preserve these canines by orthodontic intervention or surgical transplantation. This developmental anomaly is diagnosed by radiographic evaluation, which is primarily based on the panoramic radiograph.

Orthodontic treatment with correction of transmigration of 33 by substituting it for 31 and 32 for 33 was proposed.

This paper discusses the importance of early diagnosis of canine transmigration in treatment planning and reviews the various possible treatment options.
