Abstract
The orthodontist is the central member of a team dealing with the management of impacted or ectopic teeth with the knowledge and ability to either avert or simplify treatment with relatively straightforward measures such as interceptive primary extractions or orthodontic space redistribution. However, in many cases, ectopic and impacted teeth may present complex treatment planning decisions requiring the integrated expertise of a range of dental specialists including periodontists, prosthodontists, and oral surgeons to produce lasting functional and esthetic improvements with minimal short-term or long-term biologic cost.
