When a tooth doesnât erupt on its own, exposure and bonding can help guide it into place. This common surgical procedure creates a clear path for proper tooth alignmentâsupporting both function and aesthetics.
Exposure and bonding is a minor oral surgery used to assist in the eruption of teeth that remain stuckâor âimpactedââbeneath the gum line. Most commonly used for canines, this procedure is often part of an orthodontic treatment plan. The oral surgeon carefully uncovers the impacted tooth and attaches a small orthodontic bracket to help guide it into its correct position over time. By coordinating with your orthodontist, oral surgeons help ensure that teeth erupt in the right direction, at the right pace, and with minimal complications. This treatment is crucial in preventing misalignment, bite issues, and jaw discomfort that can result from impacted teeth being left untreated.
