Since they are located at the very back of the dental arch (at the end of the mouth), their position can sometimes affect the development of neighboring teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Depending on their position, wisdom teeth can be erupted, partially erupted, or impacted in the mouth:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Erupted<\/b>: When the crown of the tooth is completely out of the gum. Sometimes, even though it is erupted, due to lack of space, it comes out in a more posterior position, causing biting problems, difficulty in cleaning, and consequently cavities between the teeth. For these reasons, extraction is performed in most cases.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><b>Partially erupted<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: When the crown has only partially erupted and therefore is barely visible. Since it does not fully emerge, a space is created between the crown and the gum that, over time, can fill with food debris or bacteria, leading to an infection called <\/span><b>pericoronitis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which causes inflammation of the area, pain, limited mouth opening, and difficulty chewing. In these cases, it is important to treat the infection and remove the cause (the wisdom tooth).<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><b>Impacted<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: When the crown does not erupt, usually because it grows in an abnormal position or becomes impacted against the tooth in front of it. In the case of an impacted wisdom tooth, the only treatment options are surgical extraction or<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">monitoring its development to see if its position changes over time.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>When are wisdom teeth extracted?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Extraction is performed in cases where:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There are symptoms: abscesses, cavities, recurrent infections, severe or acute pain, pain in the face or even the ear, fever, etc.<\/li>\n<li>There is a pathological radiological sign: cyst or root resorption of other teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Orthodontic request: due to lack of space for proper tooth alignment or to prevent relapse.<\/li>\n<li>For prevention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\n\t\tImpacted or unerupted tooth\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>Impacted teeth, also known as unerupted or embedded teeth, are those that, despite being fully formed, have not emerged into the mouth and remain partially or completely within the bone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After the third molars, <\/span><b>canines<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (fangs) are the teeth that most commonly present eruption problems due to lack of space or erupting in an incorrect position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Due to the great <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">functional and\/or aesthetic importance of the canines, <\/span><b>the most recommended treatment is their repositioning in the dental arch <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">through a combined intervention between the surgeon and the orthodontist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The procedure, performed under painless local anesthesia, involves making a small opening at the site where the canine is retained, also known as <b>fenestraci\u00f3n<\/b>, y luego el ortodoncista coloca un bracket o soporte que ayuda en su tracci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tFrenectomy or Frenuloplasty\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>Frenula are bands of fibrous tissue, muscle, or both, usually located along the midline inside the mouth.
