An attractive solution to unerupted teeth.

A user- and patient-friendly method of treating unerupted teeth is described. A neodymium iron boron magnet is attached to the unerupted tooth, and a second, larger magnet is incorporated in a removable appliance. The resulting forces provide a friction-free system, requiring little or no adjustment, which rapidly encourages the unerupted tooth into a position in which it may be bonded and thereby aligned by more conventional methods.
