Impacted Canines
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Impacted canines are canine teeth that do not fully emerge into their normal position in the dental arch and remain wholly or partially within the bone or the gum. It is a situation frequently detected during the development of the teeth.
Why does it happen? It may be due to lack of space in the arch, the position of the tooth, or obstacles that prevent its proper eruption.
How is it noticed? It is sometimes noticed by the absence of the tooth in its expected place or by alterations in the alignment of the teeth.
Recommended specialist: the orthodontist evaluates the position of the teeth and dental alignment. If you suspect that a canine has not emerged as it should, the advisable step is to have it checked by this professional.
