Doctor, i am 20 years old. I had impacted tooth canine. The doctor said i was already 20 years, it may be a bit difficult, i need to take more time to get my tooth at the right position and she also not sure my tooth can be at the right posotion or not. Then, my teeth was okay and i do not have any bite problems. She suggest for me to remove that impacted teeth. Actually, I want to wear braces because I really do not want to remove my tooth. For your opinion, i need to get braces or remove the tooth?
