✨ Teamwork in Action ✨
Some cases are not solved in one step…
This young patient had mandibular second molars blocked by impacted wisdom teeth, preventing them from erupting normally. Our first phase was a surgical procedure to remove lower third molars and upright the second molars, setting the foundation for a healthy bite.
Now, with the help of our amazing orthodontist, space is being carefully created in the upper arch. Next steps will include an expose-and-bond procedure for the impacted maxillary canine and removal of the upper wisdom teeth; all timed with their orthodontic progress.
What makes this treatment special isn’t just the surgical skill or orthodontic planning – it’s the phasing treatment and teamwork required from myself (oral surgeon), our dentist, our orthodontist, our patient and their parents. By structuring their care step-by-step, we’re able to support both their health and their parents goals, including spacing out treatment and financing in a way that works for their family.
🦷💙At the end of the day, our mission is to help patients get the care they need, while supporting the families who walk this journey with them.
