Exposure of Impacted Canines in New Jersey
Impacted teeth, especially canines, may fail to erupt properly. Exposure procedures uncover these teeth so they can be guided into place using braces or other orthodontic devices.
Understanding
What Is Tooth Exposure and When Is It Needed?
Impacted teeth, especially canines, may fail to erupt properly. Exposure procedures uncover these teeth so they can be guided into place using braces or other orthodontic devices.
What Is an Impacted Canine Exposure?
This minor surgical procedure creates a small opening in the gum to expose the impacted tooth. A bracket may be attached during the procedure so the orthodontist can gradually guide the tooth into place.
When Is This Procedure Recommended?
If a canine or other tooth is impacted and hasn't erupted on its own, your orthodontist may refer you to an oral surgeon. Early intervention increases the chances of successful alignment.
What to Expect Before, During, and After
You’ll receive anesthesia and imaging before surgery. The procedure is brief, and recovery is mild. Follow-up includes coordination with your orthodontist to begin guided tooth movement.
