Surgical exposure of a palatally impacted upper canine tooth and placement of an orthodontic bracket and elastic power chain. 1) Panorex showing the horizontal impaction of the upper right canine. 2) Initial exposure of the impacted canine and extraction site after removal of an over-retained deciduous tooth. 3) Orthodontic bracket cemented to the canine. 4) Elastic orthodontic power chain attached to the bracket. 5) Emergence of power chain through the extraction site after suturing. The power chain will be attached to the arch wire to exert a pulling force on the canine to bring it into the area of the present extraction site. The canine will assume a normal position in the arch in 18-24 months.

tooth impactions, impacted teeth, Rationale for Extraction, X-ray, why, reason
Rationale for extraction of impacted wisdom teeth. The lower wisdom tooth is on an angle and leaning – impacted – against the second molar. This created a huge cavity – tooth decay – in the second molar that will probably require root canal therapy and a dental crown to repair. The patient did not feel tooth pain.
