What to do about horizontally impacted secondary canine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See Orthodontist: This is a common but vexing orthodontic problem. An orthodontic specialist will be able to give you the prognosis for making room for the tooth and then bringing it into the arch. Usually the crown of the tooth has to be partially exposed and an attachment (brace) placed on the tooth so that it can be drawn down into functional occlusion.
