When the tooth refuses to erupt on its own the orthodontist and oral surgeon work together to get these un-erupted canines moved into a proper position. In a surgical procedure performed in the office, the gum and bone on top of the impacted tooth will be lifted up to expose the hidden tooth underneath.
What Other Doctors Say
​
“Dr Rafael Quintero had been the professional doing my orthodontics surgical procedures to recover full bony impacted teeth that need adequate positioning in many dental offices that I assist.”
​
- Dr. Chara
Once the tooth is exposed, the oral surgeon will bond an orthodontic bracket to the exposed tooth. The bracket will have a miniature chain attached to it. The orthodontist will use this chain to put a light eruptive pulling force on the impacted tooth. This will begin the careful process of moving the tooth into its proper place.
