Maxillary canine impaction is a commonly seen condition which is always challenging to the orthodontist to bring the tooth to the normal position and finish the case with proper canine class-I relationship. The ballista spring system has some advantages over the previously proposed systems described by different technique by different authors. Since the upper canines are the most frequently impacted teeth with which orthodontists are concerned, the purpose of this article is to describe and discuss a relatively technical approach to the orthodontic extrusion of impacted canine teeth using ballista spring.
