Tooth exposures

Tooth exposure is a common orthodontic pre-treatment that is necessary in certain cases, especially in children and adolescents. It is usually carried out when teeth remain in the jawbone or would grow at an angle.

The process of tooth exposure involves removing the gums covering the affected tooth. Under certain circumstances, a small piece of the jawbone can also be removed. This allows the tooth to be exposed and inserted into the dental arch. Tooth exposure is an important step to ensure that the teeth can be properly aligned during orthodontic treatment.

Our practice attaches great importance to carrying out tooth extraction as gently as possible in order to cause minimal discomfort to patients. This procedure is an important part of orthodontic treatment and helps to achieve a healthy and aesthetic smile. Your orthodontist will explain the process in detail and answer any questions you may have to ensure you are well informed and comfortable.
