Requires evaluation: No this is not normal. By 11 all of her baby teeth should have exfoliated, or near to doing so. Of the 2o baby teeth, it would be unusual to have more than 6remaining. Your daughter demonstrates what ALL children should have their 1st Orthodontic Examination by age 7. Please schedule her with a specialist Orthodontist, a dent-facial growth and development expert, as soon as possible.
