Ive a baby tooth which has not yet fallen out as the tooth what kind of procedure i would need

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Patel I have recently been told that I need to have a brace fitted. I have a baby tooth which has not yet fallen out as the tooth above has not come through. I am 26 years old and I am most distressed about this. I do not know why it wasn’t picked up before and as I already have many self issues I feel a brace is going to upset me even more. Please could you tell me about what kind of procedure I would need. I have been advised that I would need to have the roof of my mouth drilled and then the tooth would have to be pulled through and fitted to a brace. Is this correct? I hope to hear from you soon. Kind Regards

It does sound like a very daun… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
