My DD has overcrowded teeth top and bottom and was referred 'urgently' to orthodontics as one of her front bottom teeth has been pushed so far forward it is causing her pain and is now quite wobbly (adult tooth). We saw the orthodontist for first appointment yesterday and she felt there is very little chance of saving the tooth as it's been pushed too far forward and has no bone left around it. She is fitting a removable brace in October, which she said is the only thing she can do right now - take the pressure off it and hope for the best (although she had little hope...). Has anyone any experience of this and, cosmetically, how will DD look with only three bottom front teeth? My DD is devestated...she prides herself on how well she takes care of her teeth, was so excited to be getting braces, but now she's terrified.
