Braces/ baby teeth?!
Question:
Braces/ baby teeth?
i have permanent baby teeth. X rays show that i have no teeth growing underneath. If i get braces, can i keep my baby teeth without pulling them out?
Answers:
It would probably depend on the orthodontist. Mine would put what they call a coil instead of a bracket on the baby tooth. Then if they knew for sure that you were never going to lose those teeth, they might try to fit a bracket on those teeth. If a bracket would not work, then my orthodontist would just stick to the coil. They don't hurt, and the coils are fun to play with using your tongue. :]
