message board Unfavorable Position of Impacted Bicuspid-Treatment Mechanics? Townies wonder whether this 15-year-old patient's palatally positioned impacted tooth requires extraction, or if other mechanics would solve the issue 3Mortho Member Since: 11/18/07 Post: 1 of 11 24 Introduction: The patient is a 15-year-old boy with impacted upper left first bicuspid. The impacted tooth is palatally positioned and in close proximity to the roots of the lateral incisor and canine, which is seen on the 3-D X-rays. The patient is reluctant to have TADs. What mechanics do you think is best for positioning the bicuspid in its place? Would anyone extract this tooth? ■ DECEMBER 2017 // orthotown.comhttp://www.orthotown.com
