Dd (13 and a half) is very keen to have orthodontic treatment as her teeth are very crooked.
She was referred about 18 months ago, he said it was too early, she still had 12 baby teeth to come out.
We have just been back for a follow up and there are still 6 baby teeth, some wobbly and some not. Some of the adult teeth are coming in behind so not pushing them out.
He said we can either wait another year or to speed things up, she could have them removed at the dentist. She's a bit nervous about having teeth out but is considering it as she's so keen on the treatment. I imagine as they are wobbly they will come out fairly easily but she's worried about the injection.
Has anyone had similar?
