My baby's teeth are not straight/ aligned. Have you experienced this with your baby?

My 7 month old has 3 teeth and they are not in a straight line in her gum. They are misaligned. Has anyone experienced this with their baby? Did it affect their permanent teeth or did their permanent teeth come out okay?

My baby's teeth are not straight/ aligned. Have you experienced this with your baby?
My sons were crooked and one of his adult teeth came in BEFORE the baby tooth fell out. I was having nightmares about the dental bills that were to come. The dentist told me to wait his teeth were still growing and moving. Sure enough his teeth are straight now. Have faith and keep your hope up.
Reply:keep an eye on them as they fall out. then watch the permanent ones. chances are that it won't affect her adult teeth. don't worry!
Reply:Don't worry about it now. When the baby is a little older, take her (or him) to a dentist for a regular check up. Crooked baby teeth don't necessarily mean crooked adult teeth!
Reply:They may need braces when they get older. Next time you go to the dentist ask him to look at your baby's teeth.
Reply:this is good so when your baby gets his/her adult teeth they will have space to grown in stright
Reply:Do not worry about the baby teeth. She is only 7 months old they will probably straighten out as she gets more.
Reply:They won't be. Right now those are the only teeth, and there's nothing to stop them from shifting.





These are just the baby teeth. Once more teeth come in, the gaps will close and the teeth will straighten.





It doesn't tell you much about the permanent teeth because those come in at a different pace.
Reply:Remember your baby's skeletal structure is still growing. As a child's jawbones grow, more room becomes available for the growing teeth.





Just keep an eye on it. By the time your child reaches around 6 years of age (right before the first baby tooth falls out and are replaced with bigger permanent ones), there shouldn't be crowding on the baby teeth by then.





Hope this helps, and good luck.
Reply:This is why dentists don't put braces on baby teeth. Relax and wait until his adult teeth come in, then find a dentist if you're not happy.
Reply:You have nothing to worry about the baby teeth will allign as the baby gets more teeth. It shouldn't affect their adult teeth at all. in fact the adult teeth will be pushing the baby teeth from side to side as they come in. if your baby is sucking a thumb or fingers it would be prudent to try to stop this habit soon because it can cause the teeth to come in crooked. Give her an orthodontic pacifier for her to suck on instead. thumb sucking is harder to quit and when they reach the age where they begin losing baby teeth and getting permanent teeth, then it can cause the teeth to come in crooked. at 7 months it really is too soon to worry about crooked teeth. they won't be getting permanent teeth in until they are about 5 or 6 years old
Reply:my son's baby teeth were straight, however they are now falling off for the news ones to come up. and the new ones are quite crooked.


so, since your baby's teeth will fall out when she is about 6 yrs old, you need not fuss about her baby teeth. however, do keep an eye on them when she starts changing them.
