The age which braces are placed will depend on the severity of your son's malocclusion.  A consult with an orthodontist is generally done at no charge and you should schedule an appointment and have this done as soon as possible so you will know the age to begin the process.  You can see your general dentist for a referral to a good orthodontist.

You are going to need to consult an orthodontist.  Depending on the severity the dentist may opt to go ahead and do it now or he may decide to wait.  If he does decide to wait, he or she will let you know at what age to bring your daughter back.

I have braces (I am 28) and I have to have 3 wisdom teeth cut out, along with 4 teeth pulled. I only have a few months left, but so far all my spaces have come together beautifully.

Human teeth don't grow back. As most mammals, we are diphyodont, that is, we have 2 generations of teeth (milk teeth, and definitive teeth). We change our incisors, canines and premolars once during childhood, and our molars (which have no replacement) grow later and slower (some people never get their 3rd molar). \nSo if you lose your milk teeth, you get a second set; but if you lose your definitive teeth, it means dentures.\n\nOther vertebrates are polyphyodont (or oligophyodont), that is, they have multiple generations of teeth and constantly replace them.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists recommends you take your child to the dentist for the first time at age one.  Usually at this visit, they'll just acquaint you to what to do with his/her teeth.  By age three, all of his baby teeth have already erupted and it's crucial to visit the dentist.  If you visit a pediatric dentist, they will be very receptive in how to handle your son.  They may do the dentistry with him sitting on your lap and his head in the dentist's lap.  This is a common technique for children who are anxious during the first visit.  In any case, it's time to have his teeth checked to ensure everything is developing properly.  \n\nYou can go to: http://www.aapd.org/finddentist/  to find a dentist in your area!  This should also provide some answers to useful questions: http://www.aapd.org/pediatricinformation/faq.asp\n\nDon't fall into the trap of saying, "Oh, well they're only baby teeth!"  Decay in these teeth can lead to serious problems with the adult teeth which have already started to develop!

Yes that's not uncommon especially thirty or more years ago for people to have had dentures so young.  Even today there are some genetic diseases that makes the teeth very fragile so they need to be taken out at a young age.  Nowdays dental implants can replace the teeth on someone like that.

I don't know, but I have them too. I am 17, what I've heard is that they are just normal growth marks, and that they will go away as time goes by. I wouldn't be worried about it, in fact I am not about mines.

I just emailed you! Lol! I have a 7 year old with autism who is on a gluten free/casein free diet. He is EXTREMELY hyperactive. Before I put him on the diet (he was almost 3) he would be even MORE hyper after eating foods with milk, and would have these crazy laughing spells. He already bounces off the walls, but it was obviously more so with the milk products, not to mention the stools he would have after eating them. I was changing like 10 pull ups a day. He would not even touch milk after I took him off of the bottle but he was addicted to cheese, and cereals/crackers with wheat in them.  AFTER I put him on the diet, within a matter of only a couple of weeks, he just stopped peeing on himself. Period, including at night. So to me I related that directly to the diet. I have wanted to give up on the diet sometimes, but you know, every time I let him have some foods which he normally doesn't have, he acts even more hyper than usual, and if you knew my son you would find that hard to believe! Lol! I have considered Feingold as well as vitamin therapy(B6 and Magnesium), but with my financial situation and stress level, any more changes would just be really hard for me to enforce right now. I also had completely takem him off of sugar for a long time, but I have caved and so he has it every now and then. I can't really tell if it affects his behavior or not. I am still looking for a solution that works, I am just kind of burned out by the trial and error of it all!

A child normally loses it`s teeth in the following ascending order--\n(1) lower front 2 teeth (central incisors)\n(2) upper central incisors + lower lateral incisors(ones beside the centrals)\n(3) upper lateral incisors\n(4) lower canines(next to the laterals)\n(5) upper 1st molars\n(6) lower 1st molars + upper 2nd molars\n(7) lower 2nd molars + upper canines

It is inherited or premature loss of baby back teeth,\ncausing Lack of sufficient space in the jaw bone. Need either making space by tooth removal plus braces or Jaw bone surgery plus braces.\nSee you orthodontist.

You loose 20 teeth. You will loose two primary (baby) molars on each side, you got them at age 2 and 6. Many people think they are permanent but arent. If you are concerned, call your dentist, ask them to look at your chart (if you have been in for regular check ups) and see if you have any baby teeth. How old are you? This would help me. Good luck. If you are under 30, I would say they most likely are not loose due to periodontal disease. If you are under 15, they are most likely those baby teeth I formerly described. Do you have teeth behind theese? How far behind your canine (eye teeth are they) you loose your front four, your canines and two teeth directly behind your canines. Look and the mirror and count. How many molars does it look like you have. You should only have more than two permanent molars in each quad (upper right/upper left, Lower right/Lower Left) if you have your wisdom teeth. Hope this helps. Can you take a digital pict and send it to me? I could telll just by that. Good Luck

Hi yes this has happened to my friends daughter recently.She still had her baby tooth but behind it the new tooth had started to grow.My friend was worried that the baby tooth wouldn't come out or that the new tooth would stay further back on the gum. However it was all ok , the baby tooth came out on its own in the end and the new tooth moved forward to fill the gap.

I got them when I was 27. People get them at all ages. How long you have them will depend on how much your teeth need to be moved.

VERY rarely.  Like 2 times a month if that.  You dont want them to get used to sweet stuff early because they wont want to eat anything nutritious.  Not to mention, they will develop cavities at a young age.

You probably don't have a problem.  My son's teeth are the same way.  A good cleaning and scaling should do the trick!  This is virtually painless.  They will take x-rays to be sure everything is okay.   I go every 6 months to avoid the build-up of plaque on the teeth and floss every day.  You have nothing to fear!!

DO NOT GET A BITE APPLIANCE MADE FOR A YOUNG CHILD!!!\n\nI can not state emphatically enough that you should never, ever consider getting (or making) an appliance to stop tooth grinding in a five year old.  This would stop proper growth and development of the jaw where the appliance is worn.\n\nIt is my opinion that baby teeth are designed to be worn away as the jaws grow and develop.  This allows for different growth rates and it allows for the accommodation of the permanent teeth with their much more pronounced cusp forms when they start to come in.\n\nYou may wish to ask your dentist to check for underlying problems, but 99% of the time - if not more - this is just part of being a five year old.
