Looking for orthodontic advice for my DD who has being diagnosed with hypodontia (missing teeth) as well as severe overcrowding
My daughter (10) has 2 missing lateral incisors and NHS dentist said solution is to remove another 4 of her teeth and close gaps with braces then file the incisors to shape them to look flatter.
I’m very opposed to this as I had 4 teeth removed as a child and I did have all my adult teeth. As a result I have too few teeth to fill my smile which is quite wide. My daughter would have even less as she’d be missing 6 teeth after extractions!
I’m keen to hear from people who can recommend an orthodontist in London who would support a temporary bridge approach followed by implants in adulthood. Or from people who have had successful treatment like this. Are adult implants a real pain or worth it?
thanks
