[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Per my daughter's pediatric dentist, orthodontia is needed in children that don't have adult teeth, when the problems are structural, such as bite correction. For everything else, she recommends waiting until all the baby teeth are out.[/quote] This was our experience. Kid #1 got braces after adult teeth (middle school age), the usual 11/2 to 2 year process. She definitely needed them. Kid #2, who was a thumbsucker until age 7, got the palate expander at that age and did not need braces when she was older (we had the option of doing it for cosmetic purposes, but she declined and I was fine with the decision. ) Both kids had the same dentist and saw the same orthodontist, so the advice we got was tailored to each kid's situation and needs. I think a second opinion would be a wise choice for the OP.[/quote]
