Abstract
It is a relatively rare clinical experience to see the impacted first molar. The first permanent molar is the key in normal occlusion. Abnormal eruption of the first permanent molars would inflict normal development of dental arches and give rise to abnormal root resorption of the adjacent teeth. Therefore, the abnormally erupted first permanent molars should be detected and treated early in order to obtain proper occlusal guidance in mixed dentition period. This report presents two cases on distally tilted and impacted mandibular first molars which were treated by surgical exposure and orthodontic traction using facial mask.
