About the service

What is Expose & Bond?

Expose-and-bond treatment helps guide an impacted tooth into its proper position by surgically uncovering the tooth and attaching an orthodontic bracket or chain. This is commonly needed for impacted canines or other teeth that haven’t erupted naturally.

Working closely with your orthodontist, our surgical team exposes the tooth and secures a small bracket, which is then used to gently guide the tooth into alignment over time as part of your broader orthodontic treatment.
