Q. Dear Dr Patel I have recently been told that I need to have a brace fitted. I have a baby tooth which has not yet fallen out as the tooth above has not come through. I am 26 years old and I am most distressed about this. I do not know why it wasn’t picked up before and as I already have many self issues I feel a brace is going to upset me even more. Please could you tell me about what kind of procedure I would need. I have been advised that I would need to have the roof of my mouth drilled and then the tooth would have to be pulled through and fitted to a brace. Is this correct? I hope to hear from you soon. Kind Regards
A. It does sound like a very daunting treatment but I assure you alot of people have braces at your age. The need to expose this impacted tooth is also very common, you will feel a bit of pain as you go through the procedures but the final outcome will be worthwhile. This is the best treatment for you.
