10 Year-Old with Crooked Front Teeth: Understanding Early Tooth Misalignment and When to See the Dentist
Quick summary (one-line)
This looks like a typical mixed-dentition alignment issue in a ~10-year-old: the upper front permanent incisors are crowded/rotated and erupting unevenly. It’s common and usually treatable, but a dental exam and X-rays are recommended to plan the right timing and treatment.
What I see (photo-based findings)
-
Mixed dentition: permanent upper incisors are present and some primary teeth remain (normal at this age).
-
Upper central/lateral incisors appear crowded and one incisor is rotated/overlapping its neighbor.
