Hello, does anyone have any experience of being told DCs may have teeth missing or lying wrong way? How did it work out?
I took my 8 and 10 yo DCs to the dentist for a check up. They both have a mixture of adult and milk teeth but quite a lot of gaps and wonky teeth. The dentist wants to do an X-ray next time as she said they either have some adult teeth missing (there is no family history of this) or they may be lying the wrong way which would mean when they come in they will be wonky and both DC will likely need braces.
I’m worrying and I suppose I’m looking for reassurance from anyone who has been in this position and how it turned out.
Also I’m blaming myself as they were both really difficult to wean off bottles (EBF for first 8-10 months) and they both had a bottle of milk in the evening until they were about 4 years old. I always had in the back of my mind that it could damage their teeth but it was sooo difficult to wean them off. Now I feel dreadful.
