MESSAGE BOARD 3 Would You Go After These Lower Impacted Teeth? A Townie's question about removing teeth inspires advice and ideas BenFolds Post: 1 of 4 9/25/2023 Introduction: 13.5 M, recent immigrant, presents not knowing about lower impacted teeth secondary to supernumerary teeth, looking for an ortho consult. Would you go after LL2 and LL3? If so, would you use a LLHA with buccal arm to the LL4 or some other mechanics? dhmjdds Post: 2 of 4 9/26/2023 Maybe the canine. Definitely not the lateral, because it crossed the midline. This is likely a 4-plus-year treatment plan. Bringing in impacted lower canines is miserable for the patient. Think long and hard before committing to doing it. n AlphaZulu86 Post: 3 of 4 Don't be a hero. n 10/7/2023 DrSDeV Post: 4 of 4 10/18/2023 Because the canine has open apices, I have some hope. Remove the primaries and supernumeraries and observe in six months. n Conclusion: This case is a built-in plug for early consults! Put it on your social media or website as a plug if you'd like! If only he'd had access to care years before. n Add your opinion to this conversation!
