A member asked:
My down front tooth fell for about 5yrs now it started growing and stopped how can i make it continue growing again and i am 17yrs now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can't: Lower front teeth should be fully erupted before you become a teenager, If you have teeth that are moving or shifting it may signify malocclusion (bad bite), periodontal (gum) disease, or both. Please see your Dentist or preferably a malocclusion expert, a specialist Orthodontist, for evaluation and discussion of your options,
