[quote=Anonymous]My 6yo had xrays done at her dental appointment today and she is missing her first adult molar on the lower right side. All other teeth appear formed as they should. She has a smaller jaw and smaller teeth in general, and already has crowded teeth on the bottom, so her dentist said orthodonture might sort it out. If not, she said they typically keep the tooth until late adolescence and then would have it pulled and have an implant. Getting ahead of myself, I know, but (1) has anyone BTDT? What was the outcome? And (2) how would pulling the tooth and getting an implant impact the results of the orthodonture work I presume will take place earlier in adolescence? Is this a case where we'd have to wait until she is finishing HS to get braces? Looking for any anecdotal info to supplement (since I have and will continue to discuss with her dentist along with do my own research which I have started). Thanks. [/quote]
