My friends daughter is 10 andshe got braces and lost pretty much lost all her baby teeth. Is this too fast??


Question: My son is ten and he has 6 baby teeth left.
Answers: Each child is different, and so they lose their teeth at different rates. It's normal; if it's not a concern for your doctor or dentist, then I wouldn't worry about it.
I lost all my baby teeth by the time I was 7 and also had braces at 10
A dentist put braces on a child who hasn't lost all of their baby AND gotten all of their permanent teeth. They should be reported to the American Dental Association. They totally scammed the parents. No, you don't put braces on a child until ALL their permanent teeth come in.
My son is 7 and has only lost four teeth. There are several children in his second grade class (age 7 & 8) that also have braces without all of their permenant teeth. I also thought this seemed redundant. However, it seems to be the trend at my sons school. I didn't get my braces until the age of 15. It seems to fast to me.
Some orthodontic cases are to prevent crooked teeth in new permanent teeth. so it really depends on the patient and the needs for the braces.
