My two eye teeth (upper canines) have not descended out of the gum. There is not enought space for them to do so. I got braces last week, and they didn't bracket those two teeth. Instead, a spring thing was put in their place.
My questions are:
-What exactly do you call this problem?
-With the spring opening space, do the teeth come down by themselves or do they later put on a bracket?
They are exposed. I just got to wondering about this becuase one of the eye teeth started hurting this morning, and I was thinking maybe it was starting to move down.
Thanks
