DS, aged 6 has lost his 2 upper central incisors and in their place are 2 peg-teeth which were thought to be supernumerary. The x-ray shows another peg-like tooth and something that may (or may not) be a tooth, which may or not have a root, above them.
The hospital dentists seem to not be sure which will be the better teeth - the pegs, or the peg + unknown tooth. Either way, it's not looking good.
They are unable/unwilling to tell me what will happen in the future other than that things can be done. We have to wait another year to reassess but actual action could be years away.
So, are there any experts out there that can tell me how these disgusting looking pegs will end up looking like normal teeth? Does he have another 12-15 years of his mouth looking horrible with braces and other contraptions?
Have tried to Google but don't know what to Google.
