Abstract: This paper presents one case of late-developing supernumerary premolars. A 10-year-old female patient was found with a premolar supernumerary tooth after orthodontic treatment. Through comparing the images before and after treatment, it was diagnosed as late-developing supernumerary teeth. The patient did not have clinical symptoms caused by supernumerary teeth during orthodontic treatment. After assessing the risk of tooth extraction, we decided to keep the tooth temporarily and made a regular observation.

Key words: supernumerary teeth, premolar, late-developing, diagnostic image
