Understanding Uncover & Bracket Treatment
The uncover and bracket treatment is a specialized procedure used to assist in the orthodontic alignment of teeth that have failed to emerge naturally. This is often necessary for impacted canines, which can affect other teeth and overall dental health if not properly managed.
Benefits of Uncover & Bracket Treatment at SunRidge Oral Surgery
- Facilitates Orthodontic Treatment: By exposing and bracketing the impacted tooth, we help guide it into its correct position in the dental arch.
- Prevents Complications: Timely management of impacted teeth reduces the risk of complications such as resorption of adjacent teeth or misalignment.
- Enhances Oral Health and Aesthetics: Proper alignment of all teeth, including impacted canines, contributes to better oral health and a more attractive smile.
Our Uncover & Bracket Procedure
- Initial Assessment: Dr. Tew conducts a comprehensive evaluation, including X-rays or CT scans, to determine the position of the impacted tooth and plan the procedure.
- Surgical Procedure: The gum over the impacted tooth is carefully lifted, and an orthodontic bracket with a small chain is attached to the tooth. The chain will be used by your orthodontist to gradually pull the tooth into position.
- Collaboration with Orthodontists: We work closely with your orthodontist to ensure a coordinated approach to your treatment, optimizing outcomes.
