Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Hi all, Hopefully this will be short. We took my son , who is 8 and has RSS, to the orthodontist Monday. They took a panoramic x-ray. They didn't find any pans (just kidding) but they found he has 2 teeth on the bottom lying horizontal. Also, he has one on the top in the same position. In addition, they can find no trace of any permanent upper eye teeth. They are recommending that we have several (4) of his permanent teeth extracted to make room for the horizontal teeth. Even if these do not come in, they will continue to grow and push on the roots of the other permanent teeth, damaging them also. The orthodontist recommended that we get this done in the next 3 to 6 months. Our problem for the moment is I am out of work and we have no health insurance. It is always something. I'll keep you posted. This is a developing story -- aren't they all? Ken M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
