Tiny mouth so not enough room for adult teeth. The two top ones have filled the gap from the four baby teeth and there is no space for the others to grow. Apparently her molars are affected too and one hasn't erupted properly as there isn't enough room. Finally the bottom jaw sticks out more than the top ...can't remember if that is overbite or under?
Feel quite sad. I had orthodontic treatment at 13 for overcrowding. Had teeth out and fixed braces for two years. But, dd is six!
can you give me an idea what to expect?
should also add that dd is very scared of the dentist so this isn't going to be easy.
