Baby teeth to adult teeth (sorry if wrong place)

How long after baby teeth have fallen out does it take for adult teeth to start coming through?

It varies. Sometimes, particularly with the bottom front incisors, it can happen thgat the adult teeth come through behind the baby teeth before the baby teeth have fallen out (then when the baby teeth do fall out the adult teeth, which may behalfway through by this point, move forwards into the gap). Sometimes the baby teeth fall out and it's a couple of months before the adult tooth is visible.

DS has had both of those scenarios, and everything in between, with different teeth over the last couple of years.
