Identifying and Assessing Impacted Canines
Early detection and treatment are key in managing impacted canines. We use advanced imaging techniques to precisely locate the impacted teeth and assess their position in relation to other teeth and structures. This detailed evaluation allows us to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses the specific needs of each patient.
Collaborative Approach for Effective Treatment
Treating impacted canines often involves a collaborative effort between our orthodontists and oral surgeons. The treatment typically starts with orthodontic therapy to create sufficient space in the dental arch for the impacted tooth. This may include the use of braces or other orthodontic appliances. In cases where the canine is unable to erupt on its own, a minor surgical procedure is performed to expose the tooth and, if necessary, attach an orthodontic bracket. This bracket, along with a gentle force applied by orthodontic treatment, guides the canine into its correct position.
Preserving Natural Teeth and Enhancing Oral Function
Our goal in treating impacted canines is to preserve these vital teeth and integrate them into the dental arch for optimal function and aesthetics. Successfully managed impacted canines contribute to a balanced bite, efficient chewing, and a harmonious smile. Our team is dedicated to achieving results that not only look natural but also support the overall health and functionality of your mouth.
