My son still has his peg tooth where his K9 should be please advice
Q. My Son has just been to see a orthodontisis regarding a small peg tooth where his K9 should be. The specilist advised for him to surgery to the roof of his mouth to allow the K9 to be exposed then tohave 3 years of brace work. I ask if there was any alteranative which was to have the peg tooth removed in a hope that teh k9 will come down. This will also mean to remove 2 other baby tooth to help the k9. Im not sure which way to go I think the frst option is rather extreme just to get the perfect smile. Please advise
A. I would follow the specialists advice. It is probable that the canine is too impacted for it to come done on its own. Although aesthetics are important function is as well. The canine is an extremoely important tooth for your childs future health of the other teeth in their mouth.
