My Daughter Has 10 Missing Adult Teeth. What Kind Of Treatment Will She Need As She Gets Older?

February 24th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr Andrew. My daughter had her first dental X-ray today – she’s 9. The dentist has told us that she has 10 adult teeth missing, so will only have 18 adult teeth. She has had 4 adult teeth grow through. She has been referred to an orthodontist for further treatment. Please can you tell me what options are available to her as she gets older. Obviously, having 10 missing adult teeth could impact on her eating and speech. We are worried about her future and her self-esteem.
Any advice would be greatly received.
Thanks.

Should my bone structure be worse if a tooth that should’ve been there isn’t?

February 22nd, 2011
Q.
Hi, I\’m missing my second pre molar due to it not growing through when my last baby tooth came out when i was 21. I am 2 months in to braces and I\’m curious as to how long I should wait before I look into consultations? I am aware my teeth will need to be in their fixed positions before treatment can go ahead. I\’m also curious as to whether bone structure is generally worse or better for not having an adult tooth there in the first place? My first molar next to my missing tooth was removed a few years ago, but my second molar is going to be moved into it\’s place. Could this movement help with the bone stucture?,
