Trapped canines in gum , need braces to pull them down.

[teddyk]

i have two trapped canines within my gum , and my operation to have my milk canines taken out is on tuesday. I'm 16 so its not a good time to have braces at. I was just wondering is it possible to get clear braces/ceramic/lingual braces for this problem, as i dont think i could tolerate braces for almost 3 years for 2 teeth you cant see at the moment anyway. please help would be much appreciated .
many thanks

It would be possible, you need to speak to your orthodontist. Tooth coloured braces would only be available on a private basis.

I hope this helps

Kindest regards

thank you so much. we do plan to go private but what would you reccomend lingual or tooth coloured braces?
many thanks

The best thing would be to talk to your orthodontist. Orthodontists have certain preferences and will guide you accordingly. Both systems are good when used appropriately

I hope this helps
