We partner with your orthodontist to overcome structural hurdles. From exposing impacted teeth to strategic extractions, we help move your treatment forward for a perfectly aligned smile.
While braces or aligners can solve most alignment issues, certain biological factors require surgical intervention to ensure a successful outcome. At Alameda Oral Surgery Group, we provide specialized Orthodontic Related Procedures designed to clear the path for your braces to work most effectively.
Impacted Tooth Exposure (Expose & Bond)
Often involving canine teeth, this procedure uncovers a tooth trapped beneath the gums and attaches a small bracket. This allows your orthodontist to gently pull the tooth into its proper position.
Strategic Extractions
Removing specific permanent teeth to resolve severe crowding or to create the space needed for other teeth to align correctly.
Frenectomy
Releasing a tight "tongue-tie" or "lip-tie" that may be causing gaps between teeth or restricting speech and oral function.
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs)
Placing small titanium anchors that provide a fixed point for orthodontists to move teeth more precisely.
We will review the specific "referral" instructions from your orthodontist and take specialized X-Rays to locate impacted teeth or assess crowding. We’ll discuss the procedure in detail and provide clear instructions regarding Anesthesia and pre-operative care.
Using precision techniques and modern Anesthesia, we perform the procedure in our comfortable office setting. Whether we are uncovering an impacted tooth or performing a Frenectomy, our goal is to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissues and ensure a quick recovery.
You may experience mild swelling or tenderness at the site. Most patients return to school or work within 24–48 hours. We will provide specific instructions on when to follow up with your orthodontist to begin or continue tooth movement.

Yes, all these procedures are performed in our Burbank, Newhall or Antelope Valley offices, which are fully equipped for safe Anesthesia and specialized Oral Surgery.
These procedures often speed up treatment by removing the obstacles that were preventing your teeth from moving into their correct positions.
While we treat patients of all ages, many orthodontic surgeries are most successful during the teenage years while the jaw is still growing and developing.
