The surgical technique for exposing unerupted teeth by the use of direct bonding brackets has been described. Twenty unerupted teeth were successfully exposed and bracketed with direct bonding with a minimum of surgical trauma and postoperative complications while ensuring the preservation of tooth structure. Difficulties previously described in maintaining a dry field were obviated with a quick-setting adhesive and good suction technique.
