What To Do If Dentist Is Disagreeing To Extract The Cuspid Baby Teeth Of A 14yr Old Child?

I am getting conflicting information from the dentist and orthodontists about getting my 14 year old daughters cuspid baby teeth removed. The dentist won't pull them because he is worried the permanent teeth might be impacted and the orthodontist won't put on the braces until they are out and doesn't think they are impacted. I have been to two orthodontists who say the same thing, but her dentist still wont touch them. Who do I trust and do I need to consult with a surgeon for the extractions?

I think you should take some time, as mentioned by your dentist after that again go for an x-ray if they are out you may go for an braces.

Take care!
