This is a good example of teeth erupting behind other teeth. The yellow arrows indicate the retained baby cuspid teeth, which will be removed to make room for the lateral teeth, which will be pushed forward. |
After 8 months of treatment, the laterals are now in the correct position. They are being retained by a fixed retainer, which will be removed after all the adult teeth have erupted into place. The two teeth with silver fillings are still baby teeth. |
