Introduction: Malaligned teeth play a key role in hampering esthetic appearance. Minor orthodontic interventions provide the pedodontist with an occasion to improve esthetics and revert the joyful smile to the affected children. Malalignment caused by supernumerary teeth poses one such opportunity. Interceptive treatment is usually carried out in mixed dentition period in order to reduce the severity of malocclusion in future. Case Report : This paper presents interceptive orthodontic management of 3 cases that presented with severe malalignment caused by the presence of supernumerary teeth. Comments: The major advantages of treatment with fixed orthodontic therapy is the ease with which the force magnitude and vector are controlled accurately compared to removable appliance.
