What is the definition or description of: delayed teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eruption timing: Sequence and timing of eruption of baby teeth, exfoliation of baby teeth, and eruption of permanent teeth is genetically determined. Delay in any of these steps can be affected by genetics, health of the dentition, position of teeth, and tooth size/arch size relationships. Delay can result in malocclusion. Pedodontist's and Orthodontists are dento-facial growth and development specialists.
