What Is an Impacted Tooth?

An impacted tooth is a permanent tooth that fails to erupt into the mouth at the expected time and remains embedded in the jawbone or soft tissue. It is most commonly seen with upper canine teeth but may involve other teeth.

Why Is Impacted Tooth Guidance Important?

Prevents unnecessary tooth extraction
Helps maintain natural tooth alignment and aesthetics
Reduces risk of bone loss due to missing teeth
Supports overall orthodontic balance
Aims to preserve the natural tooth in the arch for life

Which Teeth Are Commonly Impacted?

Maxillary (upper) canines
Mandibular second premolars
Third molars (wisdom teeth)
Upper central incisors (less common)
Each case is carefully evaluated and planned individually at DentMax.

What Is the Treatment Process?

CBCT or panoramic X-rays are taken to determine the exact position
A surgical procedure is performed to expose the impacted tooth
An orthodontic bracket or attachment is bonded to the tooth
Gradual traction is applied to guide the tooth into place
The full process can take several months to a year depending on position and age.

Is Every Impacted Tooth Guided?

No.

If the root is fully formed
If the position threatens adjacent structures
If the tooth has a cyst or causes resorption
In such cases, extraction and alternative solutions like implants or bridges may be considered.

Is the Procedure Painful?

The surgical exposure is done under local anesthesia and is painless. The orthodontic force applied afterward is minimal and generally well tolerated.
