Before the surgery
Prolonged retention of deciduous tooth
- The canine tooth on the lower jaw was contacting the lips.
- Tried surgery-first approach for occlusion adjustment.
Confirmed that the root apex is not closed.
Confirmed that the root apex is not closed.

After the surgery
Checked the occlusion after the extubation. Took a picture for a record.
-> Revisited after 2 weeks and checked the occlusion when the crown is erupted.
-> If necessary, perform the surgery again.
(Do not overdo the correction on a single procedure)
