Ortho consult: See your dentist to obtain a referral to an orthodontist. The orthodontist may work in tandem with an oral surgeon to expose and bring down the tooth or other options may be available.

Impaction: You don't have Anodontia (missing tooth), you have impaction (unerupted tooth). Ask your Dentist for referral to an Orthodontist (initial exam usually free) to determine how best to bring the tooth into proper alignment and function.

No: Anodontia means "no tooth". Your tooth is present. See an Orthodontist about putting the tooth in its normal position.
