What’s The Term Used For The Dental Anomaly When A Human Canine Grows In Behind The First Premolar?

I heard about this in a dental office today and nobody knew the answer.
There is a rare condition when the canine tooth in a human grows in BEHIND the first premolar.
Does anyone know what this is called? I’ve researched this quite a bit and cannot find an answer on it.

    I believe what you are referring to is dental transposition.
