OK ,so a few days ago i went to my orthodontist to see about getting braces. He said that i still have two baby teeth left on the top of my mouth. One of them has the adult tooth already coming down and i can clearly see it through my gums, like it is sticking out. That tooth is not that loose so i probably have to get it pulled. But my real concern is that the other baby tooths adult tooth is not right above it, its like one or two teeth over so its not going to come down right without surgery to put a wire attatched to it and pull it down into place. Now my cousin was told the same thing, but after she got a spacer it came down on its own. Has anyone ever experinced this, if so what happen to you? Did it hurt? Oh, and the ortho. also said that my jaw is not straight like theirs an overbite or something on the one side and i have to get some kind of spacer before i get braces. Sorry their was a lot of info, but should i be concerned? Thanks i really appriciete it.
Orthodontist consultation??!?
This all sounds very normal, if a tooth can come out on its own it needs help and yes the procedure is routine. ON an xray one can see if the tooth will erupt or not and in some cases is can if left alone, but will take very very long. Yes to help with a skew jaw your orthodontist is right.
