Who Typically Needs Impacted Canine Treatment?
Impacted canines are commonly diagnosed during adolescence, as the upper canines typically erupt between the ages of 11 and 13. However, if these teeth do not emerge correctly, it may require intervention to prevent overcrowding, misalignment, or damage to neighboring teeth. Individuals with impacted canines may notice prolonged gaps in their smile, pain, or discomfort in the upper jaw. Orthodontists often refer patients to oral surgeons for impacted canine treatment to ensure the proper alignment of the teeth and overall dental health.
