Orthodontics: This is a good time to see your orthodontist. As it sounds like your son may be a little behind schedule. Normally around 12 years of age is when the baby teeth should be exfoliated. The orthodontist can make a treatment plan that can help your son for life. Make sure that he has good brushing habits as this will greatly effect the results of any orthodontic appliance.

Your question ?: Just facts were stated, but if you are asking if this is normal or what you should do, my suggestion is to see an orthodontist to see if treatment is necessary for your son's condition.
