Q. I am 15 and i have recently been told by a dentist that i need braces for 2 and a half years because i have a baby tooth that has not fallen out and there is another one growing. He said that he would have to take both teeth out, then apply the braces. As you can imagine i dont want braces but i was wondering if i could have the tooth took out and then have a false implant put in. I would appericiate it if you could e-mail me with some information. yours sincerly
