There’s no space for a canine tooth to grow down, what do you advise?

Q.
hi, i have a canine tooth that has grown alot higher than the rest of my teeth but there is not enough space for it to be pulled down, i also have all four wisdom teeth growing through so my teeth feel loose and soft.
i have had the canine tooth since i was 8 and it grew through after having my milk teeth out to make room for my canine teeth to grow down, i have been passed round numberous of orthodontists and was told numberous of things in the mean time. im more worried now with my wisdom growing through that my teeth will become more crooked than what they are already….what do you suggest.
A.
Not sure how old you are but it sounds like you’ll need a course of orthodontics to straighten the teeth, maybe with extractions to make space for the canine to come down

My daughter is 8 years old and lost her baby canines( on top) one month before turning 8. My concern is the space she had is now closing up. She has a big gap in her front two teeth. Should i wait or take her to an orthodontic? Is there anything they can do to keep the place open for the canines to grow?
