Fig.3 is a CT cross section through the roots of the central incisors with the lip (L) on the top, while the palate (P) on the bottom of the figure.  It shows Leon's two extra teeth (#58,59) between the central incisors (8,9).  The tooth #59 appears to be completely on the palate side.  So we should approach this extra tooth from the palate.  How about the tooth #58?  The root is on the lip side, whereas the crown on the palate side.  The size of the crown and the root is almost the same from this image.  We do not know whether it is easy to approach this extra tooth from the palate or not. Let us make a section along the long axis of #58, i.e., through letters L and P in Fig.3.  The result will be shown in Fig.7.
