I have a question, or rather I would like your opinion.
My daughter has had a ,,deformation,, of the mouth or actually the whole head since birth. This became more noticeably problematic during an examination by an otorhinolaryngologist.
She is 12 years old and as far as her teeth are concerned, she has only one upper central incisor. It lies exactly in the middle. It is quite large compared with the adjacent lateral incisors. Now that all her permanent teeth have erupted, I have been asking the orthodontist more intensively what should be done. Unfortunately, she says that she has not encountered such a case in her career.
She suggests either moving one side and placing an implant for the missing central incisor, or moving the entire upper row of teeth, grinding the existing central incisor and/or crowning the existing lateral incisor.
I kindly ask for your opinion. Unfortunately I cannot attach photographs of the teeth.
Thank you
