When Veronica was just two years old, we already knew that there was something wrong in her mouth. After one of her top incisors didn’t grow in, we took her to a dentist for x-rays. He broke the bad news that there were no adult incisors on either side and that we’d have to chose when she was bigger whether to put spacers in for later implants or braces to push everything together. It turned out that on one side a dwarf tooth grew in and it needed to be pulled in hopes that both sides would then balance out.
She was scared, but it wasn’t as horrible as she thought it would be and she was able to head back to school. Now we just need to allow nature to take its course in hopes that she might not even need braces.
