Teeth not come
Hi so I'm 17 years , and still have my baby teeth .
I have 2 canine milk teeth.
And one is shaking .
Had taken an x-ray
It showed the tooth is behind and doctor said not worry
I got the loose baby teeth extracted.
So now how long should I wait till the other teeth fills the space.
Should I take braces treatment

Talk to experienced dentist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
You may need ortho/braces treatment to bring the impacted permanent canine to its position. Since 17 years is late for shedding of canine its less likely that the permanent successor would erupt on its own.
Plz post a picture of OPG if available.

Yes, you will probably need braces to bring those canines down since you are already 17 and the chances of them erupting on their own are pretty bleak. However we can tell you more precisely if you send a panoramic x-ray image of your teeth
Next Steps
take a panoramic x-ray and diagnose
