Do not disturb the wound. If surgical packing was placed, leave it alone. The pack helps to keep the tooth exposed. If it gets dislodged or falls out, do not get alarmed.
Depending on the surgery, you might have a bonded gold chain attached to your braces with a suture or an elastic band. This chain is a handle for your orthodontist to move the impacted tooth to the desired position. Please do not touch the chain, as the attachment may loosen.
You should be able to see your orthodontist after one week to activate the chain and start moving the impacted tooth.
It is our desire that your recovery be as smooth and pleasant as possible. If you have any questions or concerns about your progress or any symptoms you are experiencing, please contact

A healthy smile attracts people. It communicates vitality and self-confidence. When accidents, genetics, or disease cause dental failure, your looks, ability to eat, and very self-image may suffer. Fortunately, modern dentistry has developed amazing abilities to prevent or reverse dental disasters. Modern dental implants can support replacement teeth that are so natural-looking they can’t be distinguished from the original incisors, cuspids, and molars. Often the transformation can be made almost instantaneously; the patient may be able to go home with a new smile on the day his or her failing teeth are extracted. The implant-supported new teeth do more than just look good. They restore function and keep the underlying jawbone healthy.
