Impacted Canine Exposure and Bonding in Jerusalem
An impacted canine is a tooth that has not erupted into the correct position on its own. In many cases, treatment involves exposing the tooth and attaching an orthodontic bracket or chain so it can be guided into place.

Careful surgical planning
Precise technique helps support the orthodontic plan and protect surrounding structures.
