Orthodontic Impaction Cases
Canine Impaction
Canine impaction, also known as impacted canine, refers to a condition in which one or both of the upper or lower canine teeth (also known as the “eye teeth” or “cuspid teeth”) fail to erupt or emerge properly into their designated position in the dental arch.
Normally, canines are the third teeth from the center of the mouth, and they play an important role in the bite and alignment of the teeth. When canines become impacted, it means that they remain stuck in the jawbone and do not move into their proper position in the dental arch.
Orthodontic Impaction Cases
Wisdom Tooth Impaction
Wisdom tooth impaction refers to a condition in which one or more of the third molars (commonly known as wisdom teeth) fail to fully emerge or erupt into their normal position within the mouth. This can occur for a variety of reasons, primarily due to insufficient space in the jaw for the wisdom teeth to grow properly.
When a wisdom tooth becomes impacted, it can lead to various issues, including pain, infection, damage to adjacent teeth, and cyst formation. In many cases, extraction of the impacted wisdom tooth is recommended to prevent these potential problems and to maintain oral health.
