Horizontally impacted secondary canine, what to do?

Consultation: Consult with an orthodontist/oral surgeon team. The best course of treatment for YOU can only be determined after an examination of your entire mouth, together with radiographs. There is no one answer that will apply to everyone.

See an orthodontist: This is the best solution for you. A variety of treatments are available for your condition. However, consulting with your orthodontist is the best way to achieve your treatment goals: prefect smile and functional bite.If surgery for canine exposure and eruption is needed the referral to qualified oral surgeon will be made. Good luck.

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.
