We have an appointment with an orthodontist next week and braces and a lever to pull the tooth down have been mentioned!. I'm really nervous and the destist said it's pretty serious!. does anyone have any info or experience with this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think its that big of a deal!. My friend had the same thing done but it was with a premolar!. They hook what looks like a chain to the surface of the impacted tooth and slowly pull it down until its in the spot its suppose to be!. Then they just attach a regular braces bracket to it!. I dont think its any more painful than just having braces on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
