Dear Kaycie,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have been under the care of a dentist this whole time, you need a new dentist. This should have been addressed a long time ago. You don’t have to see a pediatric dentist<\/a>. It can also be a general dentist, especially at your age. Though, I would look for a general dentist who also treats children. They tend to be more patient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get your mouth in proper alignment, the first thing you will need to do is have every baby tooth that has an adult tooth erupted also extracted. Make sure whoever you end up with does a full set of x-rays so you are sure which teeth have the adult teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there you have three possible scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scenario 1: All Your Adult Teeth Have Erupted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this situation, you have all of your adult teeth and they have all erupted. If that is the case, the solution is fairly simple and can be done in two steps. Step one is for you to have your baby teeth extracted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once that is completed, step two is to have your teeth straightened with orthodontics. You are not limited to metal wires and brackets and more. These days, Invisalign can handle most cases. If you’re unfamiliar with Invisalign, they use clear aligners to straighten your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scenario 2: Not All Your Adult Teeth Have Erupted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have the adult teeth, but they still haven’t erupted, your dentist can open the area to make it a bit easier. In most cases, they’ll come in after that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, once they are in, you can then get orthodontics done as suggested in the previous scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scenario 3: You Don’t Have All Your Adult Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, a patient will have genetically missing teeth. That means there never was an adult tooth to replace the baby one. When this happens, you will still need orthodontics to open up the space where all the teeth are in their proper positions. Once that happens, you will start with a temporary tooth replacement, such as a dental flipper, in order to keep the opening in the right place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are older and your jaw is fully developed, it will be time to get a more permanent replacement. The ideal tooth replacement is a dental implant, so that is what I’d recommend. Though, your dentist can give you all the options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
