Injury to a child's front tooth
The child is 9.5 years old. At the age of 3 years there was a trauma, dislocation of the central incisor. The tooth was mobile, but was preserved. Now the tooth has not fallen out. The root tooth is palpable in the area of the nose. Is it possible to pull the tooth back into place? I'm interested in treatment options.
The doctor's answer
Based on the data provided, we can note that your child is characterized by:
- Retention and dystopia of 21 teeth.
- There is a shortage of space for permanent teeth to erupt in the upper and lower jaws.
The answer to the question:
Yes, of course, such a tooth can be pulled into place.
Possible treatment options:
Damon Q partial self-ligating bracket system
From the point of view of the effectiveness and predictability of treatment, we recommend orthodontic treatment with a partial Damon Q bracket system on the upper or both jaws.
The cost and duration of treatment may be higher depending on the complexity of treatment in each specific clinical situation. This can be assessed after consultation and diagnosis by a specialist.
Please note that these recommendations are for informational purposes only. Consultation and diagnosis by an orthodontist is required to make a diagnosis and prescribe a treatment plan.
