Roughly two years ago I had my Canine fall out and a new one never appeared, They put braces on my teeth and the impacted canine began coming out, so no gold chain was needed. So I have had my braces on for roughly one and a half years now and my top left canine has stopped coming out and has been like this for the last two months, It is roughly 4/5 of the way out. What I am writing about today is what would be the consequences of me having my braces off now or would the tooth still continue to come out gradually over time. I really want my braces off as they are getting really annoying and would love to have them off if this doesn't affect me in my future life.
Thanks for reading and replying, if you did that is.
Yours Sincerely,

Re: Impacted Canines and braces
The tooth would probably go back to where it was wasting all your time and money spent in braces. Never quit mid treatment.

Re: Impacted Canines and braces
I don't want to come of rude or anything, but I live in the UK and because of all this the treatment was all free, but how would it go back to how it was before hand because it has come down all on its own?

Re: Impacted Canines and braces
It all depends on your particular circumstances, but without the braces on to continue making space for that canine to grow into, the tooth probably won't continue to come down on its own if you have the braces removed. Your ortho may have a plan to get it down and/or it may just require some time. I had my braces removed as a teen with a canine half grown in- it never fully came in, hence why I am on round 2 now!
Re: Impacted Canines and braces
Oh ok then. Thanks for all the replies. I guess I'm just going to stick them out then.

Re: Impacted Canines and braces
I'm in the UK too, I think the process here seems to take a bit longer and our appointments aren't as regular. I became very frustrated a few months ago. After being told my treatment should only take till September, then my appointments kept being delayed which means I'm now looking at sometime after Christmas.

Re: Impacted Canines and braces
Canines can be some of the most stubborn teeth in your mouth. Give it time. And then some more time. And then a little bit more time. Because canines almost always take longer than we think.
