The surgical exposure of an impacted tooth procedure involves the surgical removal of bone and soft tissues covering a tooth located within the jawbone or mandible. The aim of the procedure is to enable the orthodontist to “guide” the tooth into the dental arch using an orthodontic appliance. <\/p>\n
During the procedure:<\/p>\n
The surgeon makes a small incision in the gum where the tooth is located,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Removes a thin layer of bone over the tooth, if necessary,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Exposes the crown of the tooth,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Attaches an orthodontic attachment (e.g., with a button or chain), which is then connected to the orthodontic appliance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically lasts several tens of minutes.<\/p>\n

Their presence in the oral cavity is essential for proper bite alignment, which is why orthodontists often refer patients for surgical exposure of an impacted tooth. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
