Laughing Gas is Funny! | Weekly VLOG #5 | Whitney Bjerken

I had to go to the oral surgeon today to have a baby tooth extracted and to expose an adult tooth and "put a chain" on it so that it can start growing in the right direction. I was worried that I would act like a fool while I was under the effects of the laughing gas...let me know if you think I was acting weird.

From AAOMS (American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons):

Chain and Bracket, Surgical Exposure of Impacted Tooth For Orthodontics
This treatment is known as a surgical tooth uncovering and chain-and-bracket procedure. The orthodontist begins the course of treatment, attaching the orthodontic appliances to the visible teeth, creating room for the unerupted tooth. Then, the patient is referred to the oral surgeon for surgical exposure of the impacted tooth and placement of an orthodontic appliance to facilitate its eruption. Sometimes the maxillofacial surgeon may need to also luxate or mobilize the tooth as well, which makes the movement required easier for the orthodontics to achieve in a more efficient manner. That surgery involves lifting the gum tissue overlying the unerupted tooth and removing any bone that may obstruct it from being moved into place. A bracket and chain are bonded to the tooth, and the chain is later connected to the rest of the braces. When everything is in place on the tooth, the gum tissue is then repositioned and sutured. This is all performed under the comfort of sedation and typically can be completed within an hour.

After taking a few weeks to heal from the procedure, patients return to the orthodontist to get the adjustments that will put tension and rotation on the tooth in order to bring it properly into position. This process may require considerable patience, as it can take up to a year for everything to be complete.
