Baby tooth was removed to expose impacted tooth. Is there a chance for cyst if we delay braces?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through the attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You do not have a cyst formation associated with the impacted tooth according to the images. In some cases, by orthodontic treatment, the tooth can be exposed, and they are brought to a normal position. In some cases, after extraction of the retained baby tooth, the impacted tooth can come into favorable position. So the orthodontist can place braces on it to bring it into position. So the doctor advises you to wait for two months. A mucosal layer always covers the tooth, and it can be exposed. After two months, if it is not coming to a favorable position, it can also be extracted.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. You cannot have a cyst formation in two months. If the tooth is brought in position by orthodontic treatment, then it is fine. If it needs extraction, your orthodontist can align your other teeth also, and he can close the space. In tooth crowding cases, removal of a healthy tooth is also done. All these come under a part of the treatment plan.
