  ABSTRACT: Orthodontic treatment of class II division 2 malocclusion is recognized as being difficult to treat and susceptible to recurrence, especially if complicated by other anomalies such as canine retention. This case report describes the particularities of the therapeutic management of class II division 2 malocclusion associated with maxillary canine retention. A 21 years old female patient complained about her gummy smile and the absence of the right maxillary canine with the persistence of the deciduous canine. The orthodontic management of the current case consisted of a treatment without premolar extraction with class II mechanics and traction of the retained canine. Successful mechanical management led to the improvement of the patient’s facial and smile aesthetics with the placement of the retained canine in its correct position on the arch as well as the restoration of normal skeletal and dental relationships.
