My teeth havent grown in and its been about 5 months since i lost them.
i am 15, and i was supposed to lose these when i was 11.
I am freaking out!

I have never had this problem before.

Well, I am 16 years old and have the same problem. But to me, it's my right upper canine tooth which is not erupting by itself...

What my dentist did, was to just cut up my gums, so that the tooth was exposed. He removed a little gum and I bled a lot in the dentist chair

But to be honest, the procedure was not so bad as it sounds!

I am wearing headgear now, and if the tooth does not come down by it self before July, I am going to wear real braces... Hope not

You'll have the perfect smile afterwards

Well... I AM scared of braces! Had a nightmare about braces, too. I really don't want to wear braces! But rather braces than being without the tooth

Headgear is no problem, by the way
