Baby top middleteeth came in first, bottom teeth following but appear crooked like forming v shape is this normal? started teething at 11 months

Normal? common: While there are basic tooth eruption charts and guides, this varies quite a bit and parents should not be overly concerned if their own child gets teeth either much earlier or later or in a different pattern from the norm or average. Baby teeth may also not always come in straight. This rarely has a relationship to how the permanent teeth erupt. Have your child seen by a dentist to monitor this.

Baby teeth: Yes this is not unusual. Avoiding improper oral habits such as finger sucking will help prevent improper jaw growth and tooth malalignment. Yor pediatrician or pedodontist should be evaluating oral development even at this young age.

No Worries: Relax and let nature put the teeth where they are supposed to be. Normal function, chewing and sucking activates muscles in all people, including young children. Muscular forces are like natural 'braces' that can re-align newly erupting teeth. If the teeth remain rotated or out of position at age 3 or 4, see a dentist familiar with orthodontics.

Nut uncommon: Baby teeth often erupt slightly rotated. Lip and tongue pressure may help align them. If jaws crowded, crooked baby teeth may stay that way. Remember, the permanent teeth are already forming inside the jaws, so go for 1st dental cm-up, teeth and jaw development exam, oral hygiene instruction, diet instruction, Fluoride balance, and make friends, now, not at 2 or 3.

Common finding: The baby teeth have a real value in maintaining space for the adult teeth as they begin to come in. Baby eruption patterns do not always predict the later pattern for the adult teeth, but irregular angles or spacing may persist. There is nothing you can do to infants that will change the genetically defined eruption pattern.
