An impacted tooth or teeth can be a complicating factor in some orthodontic cases. Impaction means that the teeth have become trapped under the gums and cannot erupt or grow into place by themselves. It’s not always known what causes tooth impaction, but some reasons can include genetics, crowding of the teeth, trauma, or an abnormal size and shape of the tooth. In many cases, simply creating space for the impacted tooth will allow it to erupt into the mouth. However, this is sometimes not enough, and surgical intervention may be required.
Dr. Rhoda Lockett would be happy to evaluate your impacted tooth and address any other orthodontic concerns that you may have.
