Two cases of supplemental mandibular permanent incisors are presented. These supernumerary teeth often erupt into the dental arches causing crowding and aesthetic problems. Management may range from simple extraction of the supernumerary teeth to comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Early diagnosis may provide better opportunity for optimal treatment outcome.
