While predominantly viewed in Western medicine as a dental malocclusion requiring orthodontic correction, maxillary canine ectopia holds divergent aesthetic perceptions globally.

In certain East Asian cultures—particularly Japan —a mild degree of canine ectopia (yaeba) has traditionally been perceived as a sign of youthfulness, natural attractiveness, or cuteness. Consequently, individuals with this condition in these regions often elect to retain it rather than undergo orthodontic alignment.
