In cases where the eyeteeth will not erupt spontaneously, your orthodontist and your oral surgeon will work together to get these teeth to erupt. Each case must be evaluated on an individual basis, but treatment will usually involve a combined effort between your orthodontist and your oral surgeon. Your oral surgeon will expose and bracket the impacted eyetooth.nnThe goal is to erupt the impacted tooth and not to extract it. Once the tooth has moved into its final position, the gum around it will be evaluated. In some circumstances, there may be some minor “gum surgery” required.
