Impacted Canine Question

#1 Post by millersgirl »

Hello All,
After a year and a half of trying I have to give up on moving my canine tooth. It's stuck.
So. Now I'm preparing myself for oral surgery. I really don't want an implant. I've already spent nearly $8,000 on my braces and the implant will cost another $2,000 after insurance. Ugh.
I'm terrified at the idea of dealing with an implant for the rest of my life. I've never had a perfect smile so honestly I'm exploring the idea of just closing the gaps. My dentist encouraged pulling my other canine for symmetry purposes.
Has anyone else done this??
