Suggest Treatment For Malocclusion Of Teeth In A Child
My daughter is 5 years & six months old. Last week we saw a new teeth growing at the back of one of her lower milk teeth. i took her to clinic and they moved it out. but the new one is not at the right place. so waht would u advice me to do to make it grow in a proper place. thanks
Hello, Often the lower front adult teeth erupt behind the primary teeth. The position will change as the teeth fully erupt. The jaw continues to grow as the teeth are developing. Children can have an early orthodontic consult with a specialist for evaluation for the need of braces. There are interceptive treatments that include placement of a bar to guide bone growth or retainers to guide teeth. The orthodontist will advise and keep your child on a recall for the best timing of placing braces if needed. In general, braces are not placed until the primary teeth are gone and adult teeth are present. I am glad that you are aware of your child's tooth development. You should plan on routine visits with your dentist for your child. I monitor tooth development and eruption sequence for my younger patients. When I see misalignments, I will suggest an early visit to the orthodontist. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
