Yes.
No, I have the same problem, you can either have it taken out altogether and have a fake tooth put in, or you can have the adult tooth brought down with braces. So far the braces thing isn't so bad, fyi. I have surgery tomorrow to expose my adult tooth. But I asked the same question, and the answer was no for me.
Orthodontics and oral surgery would be needed to "pull" the impacted canine into position. This would have nothing to do with color of the teeth. If you are worried about yellowing of the teeth, this could be corrected with many different types of bleaching. My best recommendation would be after completing the braces and oral surgery, bleach with a approved bleaching system with your dentist. J Holsworth, RDH An impacted tooth is never related to all the other teeth becoming yellow. The only exception is that if the impacted tooth is causing pressure on the rooth of another tooth, then a greyish color might appear on that tooth.
There are many case scenarios and impacted teeth, in some cases Invisalign can be used, as can regular braces. There are also other cases that an impacted tooth must be extracted before attempting to use Invisalign or any other brace.
if the tooth is impacted, the tooth must be extracted.
Well they attach a bracket to the impacted tooth and then attach a chain to that bracket and then to your wire on your braces. Every time you go to the orthodontist, they remove a link in the chain and in before you know your tooth will break through the gum. I had this done about two years ago.

Extraction of a wisdom tooth will involve several codes. You will probably need a brief exam to determine how bad the tooth/teeth are, anesthesia/medication and the actual surgery. You can find a list of dental codes at the Related Link. The ones you are specifically asking about are as follows: D7220 removal of impacted tooth - soft tissue D7230 removal of impacted tooth - partially bony D7240 removal of impacted tooth - completely bony D7241 removal of impacted tooth - completely bony, with unusual surgical complications
No. If you have a chipped tooth or a tooth that isn't the way it's supposed to, the dentist will have to remove it before you can have braces.
No he did not have braces but he has chipped his tooth on a microphone before
An impacted canine tooth is easier to treat if caught at a young age. By removing extra teeth and opening up a proper space for the tooth, it will often erupt on its own. Some patients, particularly those who are past their early teens, may require surgery. The oral surgeon will remove the gum and sometimes bone covering the tooth. An orthodontist will then be able to attach a bracket and chain to the tooth to pull it in to its proper position.

It depends on the type of stitches they used, but more often times than not, they dissolve.
