Orthodontic Therapy

   In cases where the eyeteeth will not erupt spontaneously, Dr. West and the Orthodontist work together to get these unerupted eyeteeth to erupt. The most common scenario calls for the orthodontist to place braces on the teeth (at least the upper arch). A space will be opened to provide room for the impacted tooth to be moved into its proper position in the dental arch. If the baby eyetooth has not fallen out already, it is usually left in place until the space for the adult eyetooth is ready. Once the space is ready, the orthodontist will refer the patient to Dr. West to have the impacted eyetooth exposed and bracketed. Our 3D Cone Beam CT machine helps us identify exactly where the tooth is so that the proper procedure is performed, ensuring that the tooth is surrounded by healthy bone and gum.
