:( my 10 year old dtr still has no front teeth. When she was about 5, I noticed one of her baby teeth began to yellow. I was told by my dentist not to worry. It was a baby tooth and it wouldn't effect the permanent teeth. Prior to her entering 3rd grade her front baby teeth were pulled. 6 mos later she still had no front teeth. I requested an orthodontist consult. They felt that her jaw was too small so they put an expander in the roof of her mouth. 6 mos later I was referrred to an oral surgeon who discovered she had extra teeth. 6 mos later after finally getting insurance to approve, she had her teeth pulled. She had 3 extra teeth. I was told we should see movement within 3-6 mos. However, it has been 5 and still nothing. We were told at our last orthodontist appt. That she may need surgery again because her teeth are too comfortable and are not coming down. Has anyone encountered a problem like this? I feel helpless. My daughter is a social little girl but becoming very self-conscious and not wanting to smile anymore. It is breaking my heart.
