Should a child wait till she/he loses all her baby teeth before he/she can get braces?

Answer 1

It depends on the individual case.
You don't put braces on baby teeth, but sometimes at an early stage different appliances can help e.g. expansion device.
It's never too early to have an orthodontic opinion, so rather than fretting unnecessarily, go seek an opinion now.

Answer 2

Yes and no. For most people, they need to wait to lose all of their baby teeth, which happens around age 12-13. This is so that all of the adult teeth can be moved, and baby teeth are going to fall out so they don't need to be moved. For some people with really bad front teeth, they might get braces earlier on just the front teeth.

And for a few people, like me, some of the baby teeth never fall out, which is the reason why I got braces at age 19. They pulled one of my baby teeth so that the adult tooth could come in (the other baby tooth has nothing behind it), and the braces allowed the new tooth to come in straight and with enough room. This is a genetic problem, so if your parents didn't have this happen then it won't happen to you.

Answer 3

I would say yes because what's the point in tryinig to fix the teeth that are going to fall out?? If a certain baby tooth is painful then it needs to come out. When I child looses his/her baby teeth, they don't always grow in the same.

Answer 4

yes! other wise all the work on the baby teeth with fall out anyway! i dont think the dentist will put braces on baby teeth either!

Answer 5

yes, because if you straighten their baby teeth, because they're adult teeth might grow in crooked. My older sister got braces before she got her wisdom teeth and when they grew in it made it crooked again.

Answer 6

yes, or theyre gonna pull it out.
