Can You Get Braces With Baby Teeth? Do you need to loose all your baby teeth before you get braces? Should I remove teeth before braces? What is the best age to get braces?
This will help make room for permanent teeth to erupt properly, and in some cases this early treatment actually helps the baby teeth become loose so they can fall out on their own without the need for an extraction procedure.
Not a good thing, Brooke , since most parents have their grown up children pay the second time around! In the long run, it’s best that all the baby teeth have fallen out before getting braces. Of course, you can see an orthodontist to get their opinion before making your decisions. Although braces are a pain and get in the way, think of the value of your smile.
A smile is better than a frown. For other children , Dr. Surillo may take a different approach, however.
The most common extra tooth forms right between the top two front teeth. And it will often block the two front teeth from coming in properly (or at all). It’s called a mesiodens.
