###Human: Baby tooth was removed to expose impacted tooth. Is there a chance for cyst if we delay braces? ###Assistant: Hi. I have gone through the attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You do not have a cyst formation associated with the impacted tooth according to the images. In some cases, by orthodontic treatment, the tooth can be exposed, and they are brought to a normal position. In some cases, after extraction of the retained baby tooth, the impacted tooth can come into favorable position. So the orthodontist can place braces on it to bring it into position. So the doctor advises you to wait for two months. A mucosal layer always covers the tooth, and it can be exposed. After two months, if it is not coming to a favorable position, it can also be extracted.
