my canine is high do i need an extraction?
Q. Dear Dr, I have relatively straight teeth apart from one canine which never quite had enough room to come down properly. I am 26 and now am ready to do something about it. Do u think extracting this tooth is the option? NB It is quite high in my mouth if this makes sense. Would I need braces aswell? Thanks R
A. Dear R,
It all depends on just how high up in your mouth your canine is- and is it on the lip or palate side. The canine is a very important tooth when it comes to how your teeth function together and ideally should be kept if possible. However if it is very high the extraction route is a possible option. From a cosmetic point of view the premolar next to a canine has a profile that looks similar to a canine and can be a good cosmetic substitute for a canine. If the canine was to be saved a fixed brace would be required to allow enough space and to move the canine into this space.
Regards
I am 33 years old and I have 8 months that I got braces . My doctor told that in 1 and half year my teeth should be corrected .
My concern is that all my teeth are moving, EXCEPT MY UPPER CANINE TEETH ( my upper canine teeth are littlle bit up but not extremely high ) however i haven’t seen yet at least a little bit of improvement on my teeth.
.
another extra concern is that i just only feel a very light pressure and not pain at all when the braces’ rubber bands are changed, i only felt these symptons the first day i got the braces after that none of that..
TWO QUESTIONS:
do canine teeth take longer to move down than the rest of teeth?
should i feel pain and pressure on my teeth everytime i have the rubber band of my braces changed?
how long is estimated in my age to have the teeth corrected with braces??
Please advice

Does moving it can cause bleeding on any parts of my nose such in sinus? I want to move it so my mid line will fix. I need help sir. Thank you. 🙂

Hi Linnette. How’s ur canine teeth now? How long did they both need to go down and level up with all other teeth?
I am 32 going 33 years (2012) and I have the same issue: both my canines are up in my gums. This was since I was like 11 or 12 years old. Almost all dentists have been telling me to get braces but I couldnt afford it back then. I have the same worry now. If I do get braces now, how long will it take for both my canines to move down? I hope you can share with me your experience. 🙂
i have a canine literally out of shape i mean its above my normal teeth n it affects my smile to..will i have to put braces for that ? or is there any simple solution..all my other teeth are proper is shape n size..only my right canine teeth is not in a proper place where it should have been..and if i have to put braces how long will have to keep them on..?? and is there any guarantee that after braces my canice tooth will be back in place..?? i have to control my smile because of this 🙁 ..
hi I’m 19 I have decent teeth, it’s just my canines that ruin my smile, I don’t really want to get braces unless it’s the best option for me, what type of braces are available ? I’ve heard of invisible braces but I’m not sure if they actually exist…
