Does anyone have any knowledge on orthodontics for young kids. My 7 year old has a cross bite so her bottom front tooth sits entirely in front of her upper tooth. It sits very far forward and is also a
bit wobbly. Her dentist has only just referred us to an orthodontist (she wasn’t seen back in March due to Lockdown so 6 months wasted here) however he has also terrified me and has basically said the tooth could snap off as it’s so vulnerable.
I phoned the orthodontist this morning and we are looking at June 2021 for an NHS appointment or of course we can pay to go privately.
Am I missing something or is this just how it works? It seems really odd to me that for something that is seemingly time critical, not cosmetic and on such a little child we dont have any other options. Are there orthodontic departments in hospitals that would deal with stuff like this?
