Ds2 has a bad overbite and hypoplastic teeth. The dentist said this was caused by having so many antibiotics as a baby.
He's going to have 2 lower molars out soon in preparation for a brace. They are leaving the upper 2 molars in place for the time being. The orthodontist wants to get started on it even though he's only 10 because she's worried he might knock out his front teeth. He knocked one out when it was a milk tooth.
The orthdontist said they will have to fashion a brace that won't rely on the upper molars being strong - heaven knows what contraption he's going to end up with, but it has to be done and ds2 is just fantastic when it comes to coping with adversity.
The orthodontist also said that this treatment may not work and jaw surgery could be necessary.
Does anyone else have experience of this type of problem? TIA
