Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 794 | I think that my prosthodontist intends to place a bar behind the lateral incisor and the central incisor on that side, for double support of the appliance, so that the lateral incisor doesn't take the entire force.
I am concerned that it will take perhaps more force with the clip behind it than it does now, with the small wire hugging the side of the tooth.
Also....I am beginning to think that the lateral incisor...the one closest to the surgical excision site.....is becoming slightly discolored, though the periodontist says that roots look healthy. I don't know what that might mean.
