Surgical Orthodontics

Orthodontic surgery may be required before orthodontic treatments, like braces, in cases where there is severe tooth misalignment in the jaw that cannot be corrected through orthodontics alone. Orthodontic surgery in NYC is performed by our oral surgeon to help aid in straightening the smile.

While orthodontic treatments restore the bite and straighten the smile, sometimes patients may require oral surgery intervention. If the smile is overcrowded, a tooth may need to be removed before braces can be placed. In some cases, your orthodontist may recommend wisdom teeth be removed before undergoing orthodontic treatments to prevent teeth shifting following the removal of braces or aligners. At Madison Avenue Oral Surgery, we can also perform canine exposure to bring an impacted canine tooth into place before braces can be placed.

Orthodontic surgery is typically recommended for individuals with significant tooth alignment issues that cannot be fully corrected through orthodontic appliances alone. Orthodontic surgery aligns the upper and lower jaw, misalignment can impair a patient’s ability to perform daily tasks as eating, talking, and smiling. Following oral surgery, orthodontic treatment with braces or other appliances can ensure proper tooth alignment and bite for optimal function and aesthetics. Through detailed planning involving dental models, X-rays, and computer simulations, our surgical team determines the optimal approach to address the patient's specific needs. At Madison Avenue Oral Surgery & Implant Center, we work closely with your orthodontist to address each individual’s needs and concerns. Orthodontic surgery lays the groundwork for successful orthodontic treatment outcomes, helping ensure proper tooth alignment, bite function, and facial harmony.

Canine Exposure

Canine exposure surgery is a specialized dental procedure designed to address impacted canine teeth, where the canines fail to erupt properly and become trapped beneath the gumline. Canine teeth that fail to develop into the dental arch easily are typically a result of overcrowding, baby teeth that didn’t properly emerge, or abnormal growth. Canine exposure surgery uncovers the impacted canines, allowing them to emerge into their correct positions within the dental arch. If impacted canines are left untreated, they can cause infection and affect the growth of surrounding teeth. In some cases, impacted canines can spread infection to other parts of the body and cause serious complications like gum disease. Patients with impacted canines can have trouble speaking, eating, and opening their mouth and can experience gum issues such as red, swollen, or bleeding gums.

Each canine exposure procedure is customized to meet the needs of the individual patient, allowing for personalized care and the most optimal results. Undergoing canine exposure surgery allows proper tooth function, alleviates any pain or discomfort, and reduces patients risk of complications. During the canine exposure procedure, Dr. Datson and his oral surgery team in New York City will utilize advanced oral surgery techniques to allow impacted canines to break through the surface of the skin. Patients can schedule a consultation at Madison Avenue Oral Surgery & Implant Center to determine which method of canine exposure works best for them.
