Case handled by: Dr. Macalincag
🦷 Germectomy of Supernumerary Premolar
Patient initially came in for an orthodontic consultation. Upon taking a radiograph, an impacted extra tooth (tooth bud)was discovered beneath the gums.
This is why radiographs are very important—some teeth cannot be seen clinically but may affect future treatment.
The extra tooth was removed through germectomy to create space and prevent interference with orthodontic movement. If left untreated, it may cause crowding, improper alignment, or delay in treatment progress.
Early removal helps ensure a smoother and more effective orthodontic treatment. ✨
