How does an orthodontist get a adult tooth out of your gums?
Okay, so i’m 23 and getting braces in two weeks. My orthodontist had four molars (they were bad and capped and filled) removed along with a baby tooth. However, i had to have an oral surgeon remove them and he knew it was for braces. However, i’ve read other places that the surgeon puts a bracket on the adult tooth that is still hiding while your under, but he didn’t do that for me? What is the next option? I dont want to have to go under again, that was not pleasurable!!
?? Help, hardly any time left!
he will numb the tissue, make a little incision, cement a bracket onto the tooth, attach a wire or spring and maybe put a little stitch in the tissue. No big deal.
