[quote=Anonymous]I'm just looking for people who have BTDT. My DD has very crowded teeth -- the orthodontist has said that some permanent teeth (the ones next to the canines) should be pulled so that there is room for the teeth. Apparently a palate expander will not work for her. In addition, they can see that some teeth are not positioned to come in straight, so they want to pull some baby teeth, and put in space maintainers so that teeth will come in properly. The last step is for the teeth to be straightened with braces. This was all sent to me in an email from the orthodontist, so I haven't had the chance to speak to her yet. I will, I definitely have a lot of questions. I would just like to hear from anyone who has done something similar about how it all went -- was it a big hassle for your kid and you? How long did they have a space? Did the teeth look ok afterward? [/quote]
