MILK TOOTH + BRACES
I'm 19,Male,74kg. I recently consulted a dentist for my badly aligned tooth in the front. He says,I've got 3 Milk teeth. Milk tooth has not fallen & permanent tooth has come behind it[a bit far]. He said milk tooth should be removed first & then I've have to put braces for 2-3 years.
1. Is there a faster & better treatment option other than braces[as I can't wait for 3 years].
2. Will the braces work at this age? Is putting braces really worth it?
3. I've heard removing a tooth manually can affect the roots & causes problem in future. Does it apply in my case??
Thanks In Advance.
