im 13 i have super crowded teeth and 2 of my teeth are not grown and 1 is halfway grown and i have one baby tooth. should i get it pulled out i really need my braces nowwwww!!!!!!! is it possible? i already went to the dentist (no, not an orthodontist) and the dentist said no!! please help =(
The treatment for crowded teeth is extraction of some teeth (if needed) and orthodontic treatment. The baby tooth is extracted once the permanent tooth below it is about to erupt. All this can be decided only if an xray of the jaw is taken and the status of permanent teeth determined. Kindly mention as to which tooth exactly is the baby tooth. My advise would be to initiate orthodontic treatment at the earliest. Regards.
