Probably the most common abnormality treated in dental clinics consists of impacted canines. The canine has a special status on the dental arch. Strong, with a long root, located at the intersection of lines of force of the dento-maxillary apparatus, the canine also protects the other neighboring teeth. In its absence the protection of the dental arch is no longer ensured, which results in the apparition of dental abrasion or dental fractures.
Impacted canines refer to the vitiated position of these teeth, which can produce root resorption at the level of the lateral incisor in the immediate vicinity. Therefore, there are sufficient reasons, not related to aesthetics, to treat this anomaly as soon as you notice its apparition.
When the canine does not have enough space on the arch, it can grow in two ways: it either remains included or erupts ectopically, i.e. above the other teeth. The absence of space can be detected by a dentist by analyzing panoramic radiography, even two years before the physiological eruption of this tooth.
Early treatment favors the alignment of the canines and the restoration of physiological occlusal contacts. The decision whether the alignment is extractional or non-extractional belongs to the orthodontist and is guided by many factors, but the most important is represented by the age of the patient. 11-19 years is the optimal age to resolve this abnormality in the most convenient way. The wisdom tooth removal Park Ridge clinic can help answer more questions regarding the removal of teeth.
