The Orthodontic & Bone Grafting Years

The growth and development of my teeth began immediately after child birth. Since each patient is unique, the necessity of the following procedures will depend on discussions among the craniofacial team, patient and family. For any rectification of defects, Pedodontist and Orthodontist, whom are specialists, are involved. Orthodontist treatments are needed after permanent molars erupt (age 6-8 years) and an orthodontic expansion is performed. A bone graft from the hip to the space in the alveolar ridge (gum line) is then placed. The treatment with braces may start at about seven years. As a final stage, correction of nasal deviation with a septorhinoplasty is performed.

This tooth will be pulled since it has no bone mass around it and to make way for the tooth behind it which is in the same situation. That one will also be pulled once I have my operation to put a piece of bone in my palate and so they can eventully be able to drill a post for a future tooth implant. Maybe next year for that dreaded procedure.
