 This report discusses a case of rare idiopathic root resorption in a 13-year-old female and highlights how an upper standard occlusal radiograph proved to be pivotal in the diagnosis and demonstration of its incidence. Management of the case is described, with discussion of treatment alternatives.  Clinical Relevance: Generalized idiopathic external root resorption is progressive. Before commencing orthodontic treatment, adequate clinical and radiographic examination is essential to facilitate appropriate management. Currently, UK orthodontists do not routinely take an upper standard occlusal radiograph pre-treatment. However, this case highlights the benefit of such diagnostic imaging, in specific circumstances. </jats:p
