Tooth eruption does not always go smoothly.  For many teenagers and children their teeth fail to erupt in the right place at the right time.  There can be many causes for eruption problems, but it may because the tooth has not developed properly, or there is not enough space for the tooth to erupt into.

In these situations we work with your orthodontist or dentist and expose the tooth and sometimes attach a button or ‘bracket’ to it.  In this way the tooth can be slowly helped to move into the correct location.
