Suggest Treatment For Gap In Between Teeth
Hi, im 14years old and went to the orthodontist today. They told me I have 7teeth missing in my mouth which have NEVER grown in! I also have a gap inbetween my two front teeth. i want braces but they said because i still have 7 baby teeth also that when they fall out there will be no teeth to grow in because on the X-RAY it showed that, so the gap would be to big to close! please help! theve told me im due to go to a hospital in 8weeks, but thats so far and what are they going to do?! PLEASE HELP!

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The gap between the teeth can be closed with the help of restorative material(composite) or artificial denture. Since you do not have any permanent teeth, you cannot go for orthodontic treatment. So till you become 18 year old you cannot go for implants. Till then you can go for the removable dentures after the deciduous teeth falls or exfoliates. Once you complete 18 years you can go for fixed denture with the help of implant.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

The gap between the teeth can be closed with the help of restorative material(composite) if the space is mild or artificial denture(if the gap is too wide) . Since you do not have any permanent teeth, you cannot go for orthodontic treatment. So till you become 18 year old you cannot go for implants. Till then you can go for the removable dentures after the deciduous teeth falls or exfoliates. There are no other options once the milk teeth exfoliates. You have to use artificial dentures till you complete 18 years, then can go for fixed denture with the help of implant.
