A member asked:
I went to the dentist for a braces consultation and was told that my two front teeth have short roots. will this continue to get worse? what is the exact cause as i've never had any braces or trauma to the teeth themselves?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shortn roots may be a genetic issuer the result of a traumatic incident when you were a child. It may put your affected teeth ant risk while undergoing Orthodontic treatment. Suggest that you consult with a specialist Orthodontist.
