Impacted teeth – before and after

An impacted tooth stays in the bone and cannot come through on its own – most often an upper canine. After the tooth is surgically uncovered, the orthodontist gradually pulls it into its place in the arch.

We only show photos of the teeth, with no faces or names. Results vary from patient to patient – every treatment plan is made after an examination.
