A member asked:

My 10 year old sister had an abcess and had to extract her lower 6? what doc would do to preserve her occlusion as she grows up

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Orthodontist: Probably best to bring your sister to an orthodontist so he or she can moniter her occlusion periodically. Then if your sister ever needs braces the orthodontist can determine the best time to place them to preserve the occlusion. Good luck.
