What Are Impacted Canines?
Impacted Canines
Impacted canines are upper teeth (typically the cuspids) that fail to erupt fully into the mouth due to crowding, abnormal positioning, or other factors. Canines are crucial for maintaining alignment, supporting the structure of the mouth, and aiding in chewing. Left untreated, impacted canines can disrupt surrounding teeth, affect bite balance, and lead to further complications.

Importance
An impacted canine can press on neighboring teeth, altering alignment and potentially leading to pain, cyst formation, or bone loss. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to ensuring that impacted canines erupt properly, minimizing future dental complications, and supporting optimal oral health. At Signature Dental Implants and Oral Surgery, our team evaluates each case with careful imaging and treatment planning to create the most effective approach for each patient.

Treatment Options for Impacted Canines
Treatment
Our practice offers several treatment approaches, customized to address your unique needs and dental health goals:
Orthodontic Guidance
Braces or other orthodontic appliances are often used to create space and guide the canine into the proper position within the dental arch.
Surgical Exposure and Bonding
If the canine requires surgical assistance, we carefully expose the tooth and may use bonding attachments to help guide it into place over time.
Combined Orthodontic and Surgical Treatment
For complex cases, we often recommend a combined orthodontic and surgical approach to ensure the impacted canine aligns correctly.
