When a tooth becomes impacted, this means it has only partially erupted, or has arrived incorrectly. Without treatments, this could lead to imbalanced bites and discomfort, as well as jaw joint disorders. Fortunately, your Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park, CA, oral and maxillofacial surgeons will discuss how we bracket these teeth into proper positions once again.
