Dental Consult: You'll need to consult with a local dentist. The answer to your question needs a physical examination of your mouth, with radiographs.

See an orthodontist: Many orthodontists offer an initial consultation for free. This allows you to find out what type of treatment is recommended for your particular situation and get all your questions answered. Take care.

That depends: First off, Molar teeth are back teeth, they do not grow behind front teeth. Also some people have extra teeth or baby teeth that "forgot" to fall out. The first thing you need to do is have a dentist figure out which teeth these actually are. Once that is done you can decide if orthodontics, extractions or a combination of both is the best way to go.
