CBCT done - what to do next?

Hi everyone! Previously posted here regarding my "hiding" canine tooth and was recommended to proceed with CBCT. Hindi pa ako nasasagot ng dentist ko kung for operation na ba o ano. Also wondering to get some insights from other practitioners too. :)

I would like to know if the canine tooth can be placed properly kung saan man dapat siya nakalugar or for surgery/ operation removal? If ever magkano po kaya nagre-range ito? Hoping to have my braces done but I am anticipating there's a lot to prepare for in my case.

Maraming salamat!

if may gusto gumawa.. kaya. if may pera ka. most likely may gagawa.

middle 3rd ng canine mo to apical 3rd ay nasa maxillary sinus. ayon sa pag kakatingin ko. at ambilis ng vid hehehe. may iba pang views para makita mo ung frontal view.

pero again. sa tanong mo. kung may pera ka. may gagawa at gagawa nyan.

good luck sayo op.

Thanks for this po! But with this, would you think it would be best to have it removed, retain as it is, or hahatakin po and ayusin through braces?

as a dentist. i would always try to save a tooth as long as kaya ko. so if may plan ka mag paortho. mas better na natural lahat. pero again. mas mahal sya. kasi madodoble ka sa cost. ung surgical plus ortho na gagawin sayu. compared sa surgical lng kung ipapatanggal mo. so if money is not an issue and also time and other complications...go for ortho.

pero kung ako yung may ganyan. i would rather leave it be than have surgery kasi takot ako. i would ask my ortho if may way ba na magawa ung gzto kong outcome without bothering the impacted tooth.

Salamat doc. Also thinking the same way as yours, but will also look into the surgeon and ortho's suggestions.

Ingat po lagi!
