What are Impacted Canines?
Impacted canines occur when the canine teeth (also known as cuspids or eye teeth) fail to erupt properly into the dental arch. This can happen due to various factors, such as overcrowding, genetic predisposition, or abnormal tooth development. Impacted canines can lead to oral health issues and may affect the alignment of surrounding teeth if left untreated.
Signs of Impacted Canines
- Pain or discomfort in the jaw
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Visible displacement of adjacent teeth
- Difficulty chewing or biting
Our Treatment Approach
- Diagnostic Evaluation: Our dentist will perform a comprehensive examination, including dental x-rays, to assess the position and condition of the impacted canines.
- Treatment Planning: Based on the evaluation, we will create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and the severity of the impaction.
- Exposure and Bonding: In cases where the impacted canine is positioned beneath the gum line, a surgical procedure may be necessary to expose the tooth and attach an orthodontic bracket to guide its eruption into proper alignment.
- Orthodontic Treatment: Following exposure, orthodontic treatment may be recommended to align the impacted canine into its correct position within the dental arch.
- Monitoring and Follow-up: We will closely monitor the progress of treatment and provide ongoing care to ensure optimal results.
Benefits of Treatment
- Improved Dental Alignment: Treating impacted canines can help align the teeth properly, improving bite function and overall oral health.
- Prevention of Complications: Addressing impacted canines early can prevent potential complications such as infection, tooth decay, and damage to adjacent teeth.
