I have baby teeth and want implants and braces, advice?

Q.
I am 24 years old and I have about 4 baby teeth still in my mouth. They are the fangy teeth. One of the baby teeth have fallen out recently however, which has left an ridiculous looking gap in my smile as the adult tooth was behind it and cannot be seen. The other 3 teeth have the adult teeth behind them. I am wondering what I can do about this. I also have an overbite. Do I qualify for lingual braces? invisalign? would I need surgery for this matter? Could I get implants? Please advise. I appreciate it.

Hi

It is not uncommon to have retained baby teeth which fall out during your 20s and 30’s. You could have treatment carried out using any of the brace systems you have suggested once you have had a consultation to assess the problems that will need addressing. I would therefore suggest you have an orthodontic consultation to assess which options are the best for your particular needs.
I am sure you will be surprised what is available!
good luck.
