Q. Hi this is a question concerning my 22yr old son. As a teenager he had braces for impacted canines. 1 came down and after along time he got his braces removed. Despite there being a big gap the other one didnt emerge until recently where the tip is placed just behind the 2nd tooth. He is insistent that he doesnt want braces. As the tooth tip is now broken through the gum, would extraction and a implant be an option for him?.,
A. Possibly but removal of this tooth could leave a large gap making placement of an implant difficult. You would need a ct scan before deciding the best option
