Abstract
This case report describes the presentation of a nasopalatine duct cyst in a 27-year-old orthodontic patient. The patient presented with pain in the anterior hard palate and a Class II division 2 occlusion with a complete overbite. The cyst was discovered upon further radiographic investigation. Following discussion at a joint orthognathic clinic, the decision was made to leave the cyst under active monitoring and review the patient clinically and radiographically after 12 months. Nasopalatine duct cysts are common, therefore awareness of their clinical and radiographic features and treatment options is essential.
