Inverted Impacted Teeth,
Patience Is a Virtue
In this age of accelerated treatment done at the "right" time,
some patients still need early evaluation, recall and extended care.

Introduction:
A 9-year-old boy was found to have two impacted incisors, #7 and #8. He had no history of
trauma. #8 was completely inverted with the facial aspect of the crown to the lingual/palatal.
The occlusion was Class I with moderate crowding and a straight facial profile with an ANB
angle of 3 degrees.
Phase I treatment was initiated with fi xed appliances. After the #7 and #8 space opening,
#7 erupted. Inverted tooth #8 was prepared for an expose and bond. The crown of #8 was first
bonded on the lingual aspect. A step-down bend was made in the .019x.025 wire so that #8 elastic
thread could be positioned to pull slightly to the mesial.
Attention was given for the #8 crown not to come through the mucosa during extrusion
rotation, to avoid any future gingival defect of attached gingiva. After 20 months of gentle eruption
forces with an elastic thread, #8 was exposed for a second time for bonding on the facial aspect.
At this time, the tooth was rotated 90 degrees, parallel to the occlusal plane, with the crown
prominently protruded under the mucosa. #8 was gently extruded and rotated from the facial
aspect for another eight months.
After 28 months, the full clinical crown #8 had been gently erupted into the oral cavity
through the attached gingiva. Phase I orthodontic treatment was completed. All teeth were bonded
and Phase II orthodontic treatment continued. The patient had developed a mild open bite. All
teeth were leveled and aligned and orthodontic treatment completed. Roots of #7, #9 and #10
remained healthy. #8 had only mild root resorption and maintained vitality.
The total orthodontic treatment time of Phase I continuing into Phase II treatment was 5 years,
5 months. The family was very happy that tooth #8 could be saved for this young patient. This
young man started to develop a mild Class III growth pattern during the last year of treatment
with ANB of -3 degrees at debond, mild Class III right side. This will be addressed at age 21
once the patient is completely done growing.
