If a baby has teeth that are coming in crooked does this mean that his adult teeth will most likely also come in crooked? ***************************************************** 10-25-05, 03:46 PM Georgia85 It's like you quoted directly from this orthodontics site Smile
Q: If the baby teeth are crooked, does that mean that the permanent teeth will come in crooked?
A: No. The position of the baby teeth does not indicate anything definite about the permanent teeth. Sometimes, the permanent teeth come in much straighter than the baby teeth. Orthodontics
Apparently some parents become alarmed when they see crooked baby teeth. But once all the baby teeth are in, they usually start straightening out on their own.
10-26-05, 06:26 PM kittypal LOL, thanks Georgia...I babysat (can you believe it?) for my sis-in-law's sister's baby last week and she was all freaked out that her 11 month old will have crooked teeth...I told her I'd find an answer! Big Grin
10-27-05, 08:58 AM Georgia85 Eek Kitty with a baby...only thing worse than that would be me with a baby! Wink
Glad you got an answer to share with her Smile
10-27-05, 01:26 PM dangergurly9 As long as we are on the subjuct of teeth..my son who is 8 yrs has only lost his 2 bottom teeth.I was kinda worried about it but now there is a new worry lol.One of his top teeth is coming in and the baby one is still there.I mean it is REALLY COMING IN!! lol He refuses to wiggle the tooth to try to get it out.We give him apples..bribe him with money ect... any ideas? Roll Eyes
10-27-05, 02:04 PM Georgia85 No ideas but you are going to have to get that tooth out or take a chance of the permanent getting totally misplaced. My friend's 13 year old son had to have 3 baby teeth pulled by his orthodontist because they were not loose and his permanent teeth were trying to come in on top of them. The dentist said the baby teeth had to come out!
10-27-05, 02:52 PM shelster my son looses his teeth slowly too. He has only lost 3 naturally and he is 8. But when he goes to the dentist, they can tell if one needs to come out and pulled the last one.
Is your 8 yr old getting to the dentist every 6months? The dentist will know when its time to take one out.
10-28-05, 04:50 PM kittypal I also had 4 baby teeth pulled as a kid so that the new ones had room to come in, I think I was in third or fourth grade.
Georgia, she actually asked me to sit next week again Roll Eyes He;s kinda cute, but I'd way rather have a cat or something.
11-01-05, 07:52 PM dragonbright haha just something odd that i'm going to add to this...I had to have 2 baby teeth pulled before i had braces put on in 6th grade..but the only reason i had to have them two pulled was because i was short two adult teeth! i had no other way to lose those two teeth except by being pulled. how crazy is that?! haha..just something odd that i decided to add.

11-03-05, 11:53 AM VelvetVoice OMG! LOL, I thought for sure you guys had the recipe to make babies, that's why you don't have them! Love and learn.
11-03-05, 01:01 PM Georgia85 Nah Kitty (and VV) It's an old joke - someone say's "I love babies" and the other says "Me too...let's get together and swap recipes" As in "I love pizza..." Get it? Wink
