We found out at the age of 4 that Karissa was missing 6 teeth ( the two in the front, 2 wisdom, and 2 12 year molars) and the most noticeable ones were the incisiors beside her 2 front teeth. Its hereitary so our other girls could possible have missing teeth too. I did find out yesterday that Katie isn't missing the 2 in front!!
When she gets her braces off they will put the teeth on a retainer and she will wear that until she is old enough for implants, which they say 18.
I feel so bad for her because she has a terrible fear of dentist and of course she is the one who needs the most done.
