What is Orthodontic Tooth Uncovering ?

Orthodontic tooth uncovering procedure for the exposure of impacted teeth. Our experts provide safe, effective treatment to enhance orthodontic outcomes

 

Many of our patients that are undergoing orthodontic tooth uncovering (braces) treatment have one or more teeth that didn’t erupt out of the gum tissue. In order to help the orthodontist. The orthodontic tooth uncovering surgeon exposes the tooth and connects a bracket with a small chain to the tooth. The patient returns to their orthodontist to start moving the tooth into its permanent location so it can be aligned with the other teeth.

After the procedure, you may experience mild discomfort or swelling, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Camas Periodontist will provide you with specific aftercare instructions for orthodontic tooth uncovering. Which may include a soft diet, careful cleaning of the surgical site, and a follow-up appointment to monitor healing.
