Generally, a tooth becomes impacted when there
isnt enough room in your mouth for it.

This could be due to inherited traits or
orthodontic treatment.

In many cases, the mouth is too crowded for third
molar development to occur normally.

The tooth, whether partially or completely
impacted, could

Grow in at an angle to the second molar or the
following next tooth

locked within the jawbone.
