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.

Impacted canine tooth?

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.

How do you remove a space retainer held in by dental cement at home?

Not a good idea. Even if the space retainer is on a 'baby' tooth, it is meant to hold the space of the missing tooth until the adult tooth erupts. If the space retainer is on another 'baby tooth', that could damage or even cause the tooth be be extracted early also-the very reason you had the space maintainer in the first place. If it is afixed to a permanent tooth, there could be irreplacable damage. Have your dentist look at it. They should be the determining factor, and besides no matter how gentle you try to be, it's still going to be uncomfortable for the child.
