Supernumerary teeth are regarded as an anomalous increase in the number of naturally occurring teeth. It can be found in any region of the dental arch. It is a developmental anomaly and has been argued to appear from multiple etiologies. These teeth may remain embedded in the alveolar bone or can erupt into the oral cavity. Dens in dente are one of the rare forms of supernumerary teeth. The present case report described a thirteen-year-old male who had bilateral supernumerary teeth in the anterior region of the maxilla which had a malformed morphology type dens in dente and they caused impaction of the two upper central incisors. A surgical treatment was performed to remove the supernumerary dens in dente teeth.
