Case Description
My 5-year-old daughter never got her top two lateral incisors. I assume this is a genetic condition because her father and paternal grandmother never got some of their permanent teeth. I am concerned that she is now the age where she may need an appliance to expand the pallet to make sure her upper arch is the correct size. I am having trouble finding a dentist or orthodontist with experience with these type of cases who will see us.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
