Tooth transposition is defined as the positional interchange of two adjacent teeth within the same quadrant. The new concept of interdisciplinary collaboration between orthodontics and other specialties of dental medicine is best synthesized by the word TEAM (together everyone achieves more). The success of any dental procedure is not considered without careful consideration of other allied branches. Orthodontic correction does not always guarantee a full treatment. Corrective and restorative phases are required to complete the procedure. In this article, we present a case with canine premolar transposition, and its interdisciplinary management with novel restorative procedure.
