AIf milk teeth are lost earlier than normal due to decay or damage or are not properly placed together, permanent teeth may not have enough space during growth or may grow crookedly and irregularly.

Sometimes, methods such as mobile orthodontics for children are used to provide space for the growth of teeth without the need for extraction. Does orthodontic braces harm baby teeth?
