I need braces?

Question

i have amazingly crooked teeth but my ortho won't even consider getting me braces! is it beacuse i haven't lost all of my baby teeth? is it beacuse i am not old enough/ ( i am 8)Should i say something to him?

Answer 1

well its kinda cuz u have baby teeth. when i went to the dentist i was like 9 and i had crooked teeth and they were my baby teeth. the dentist said they'll fall off and hopefully my permanent teeth wont be crooked. i say wait till ur baby teeth fall out.

Answer 2

its true i didn't get mine on until i had at least 1 baby tooth left but mine were all gone at the time

good question hope i helped good luck!!!

Answer 3

If you got them on while you still had baby teeth it would be extreaamly painful if the baby teeth fell out without you know and the adult tooth started to come in.

Answer 4

its cuz maybe you are young and still have your baby teeth. wait till they fall out and then he/she will tell you if you need them.
