Does Getting A Teeth Job Cause Early Beginning Of Menstrual Cycle?
My daughtor just turned 11, and she started her period the other day. She looks tiny for her age. She started braces 8 months ago. I wonder if the teeth job interferred her system. I heard one of the moms said her daughtor had 8 teeth pulled out at age 8, because they were just too crowded,and she had period when she was 10. another mom she said her daulghtor had expander at 9, and she was seeing a growth specialist. I wonder if PDs kept track of any coorlation of early teeth job and growth cycle. Becasue orthdontists seem to be pushed early for dental work nowadays.

no, teeth jobs has nothing to do with starting the menstrual period.. the age at which girls starts their period depend on a number of factors including familial age ( the age at which her mother and her aunts from paternal and maternal sides started their period) , the hormonal level, and the weather in the country they are living in ( hotter weather seems to stimulate the system to start menstruation earlier than cold weather)
