Impacted canines are a common orthodontic issue where the canine teeth do not emerge properly into their expected positions. We specialize in diagnosing and treating impacted canines, helping patients achieve a functional and aesthetically pleasing smile.
What Are Impacted Canines?
Canines are crucial teeth in the dental arch, important for biting and aesthetics. When a canine tooth becomes impacted, it means it is blocked from erupting into its proper position, often by overcrowding, excessive dental tissue or unusual growths.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Impacted Canines
- Early Diagnosis: Regular dental checkups are vital for early detection of impacted canines, especially in children and teenagers.
- Treatment Options: Treatment may include orthodontic intervention to clear the path for the tooth to erupt or surgical exposure to assist the eruption process.
- Collaborative Care: Dr. Danny Lee and associates work closely with orthodontists to ensure a comprehensive approach to treatment, aligning overall orthodontic needs with specific interventions for impacted canines.
