At age 7 uneven teeth which means not properly positioned could be because your son is losing some milk teeth and getting new permanent teeth. At this stage the jaws are also growing and trying to accommodate the new teeth. Sometimes it may also be that his milk teeth are not fallen yet new permanent teeth have already erupted. This does not necessarily mean your son has calcium deficiency. You need to consult a Pedodontist soon and get treatment.
Next Steps
get the milk teeth removed if they are causing problem. you can also get blood calcium level checked to rule out your doubt.
Health Tips
Getting a regular check up done by a Pedodontist will be a good idea to prevent further problems .
