Orthodontic Exposure

If children are undergoing orthodontic treatment, or interested in beginning treatment, then the  orthodontic exposure procedure can expose unerupted teeth so that patients can move forward with their orthodontic treatment. Your surgeon can deflect gum tissue and, if necessary, adjust bone that may be blocking tooth eruption to clear a path for the tooth to erupt. Our office will partner with your child's orthodontist to coordinate this procedure with the orthodontic treatment plan.
