Hi Elltee


Yes it can be done just some takes longer than others started my journey at 29 i am 31 now and canine is visible but not now yet down its been a long journey hoping it can just end.

Hi I know exactly how u feeling but your case should be better than mine i have a impacted canine than is coming down in the place of a missing lateral my teeth at the moment looks really bad and i have zero confidence. :( we just have to look at the bright side when all this is done its not going t...

Why cant i view images

Karina how did your surgery go?

Yeah u are lucky if you got a normal bracket on once canine is on a normal bracket it comes in faster mine has had a chain pulling it forward for 1 year now

Had my surgery done so this was my third exposure and second exposure with laser this time they lasered away front gum tissue and attached another chain so i have 2 chains on my canine.this time it was really painfull they say the front gum tissue is much more sensitive but by the 3rd day i was feel...

If the tooth is close to the surface will they just laser away more gum to help the tooth.my tissue grew over the tooth after the second surgery but according to my xray its only shows the palate loop that needs to come through. I dont see my tooth at all. I am hoping that on saturday when they lase...

Hi karina for both surgeries i was awake they numb me so i did not feel anything for the first 1 when they cut me after the numbing wears off i felt it for 2 days. I was taking pain medication and rinising with warm water and salt. For the second 1 when they used laser i was fine there was very litt...

I had my first surgery in Feb 2017 than in July chain came off so had another surgery but they used laser. I will be going in this saturday to have another laser surgery i think will remove some more gum tissue and they said attach another chain to change direction of tooth

Do u have a copy of your xray

Wow that is fast moving maybe your ortho can shave off gum with laser and put a bracket on the tooth.are u still using accelledent?

I went for my check up ortho did not attach chain to new link he said he has to order a thicker wire and i should come back in 2 weeks.

My appointment is on sat again i have a new link showing so once chain is put through that link i will also have 3 links to go. Just hoping it can come down faster

i was brushing and think i pulled chain abit to hard,yes i will be needing re exposure he said will be done with laser. The last time it was exposed they attached it and covered the tooth up. This time i think they will leave the tooth open. hope this tooth can just move fast.

I am going to have mine re exposed this weekend my chain came off this time i think he will not cover it up mine has been pulled by chain for the past 5 months. There is a bump just behind where there canine suppose to be i can feel a hard bulge there.
