worried about my daughter's teeth

my daughter has lost her first tooth not that long ago, the tooth is almost all grown in and it's really crooked, her second tooth is just about to fall out right beside the first one and the tooth is growing in behind it. her teeth seem to be really messed up. is it normal for them to look this croocked and grow in far back behind the one still there. will it adjust any as she grows and the others come out?

once the other tooth falls out the there should be enough room that they will fall into place but if you are that worried about it then take her to the dentist its never to early.

she does go to the dentist but i'm only covered once a year. she went a few months ago. i'm afraid i can't afford it now. i'll wait until after this other falls to see if they straighten out at all then i'll take her in

I wouldn't worry about it too much right now. Wait until the other teeth come in.

you need to / haev to wait for all her permanite teath to grow in before you can get braces. and it seems that she is haev overcroding in her mouth whitch soem dentist will romove some teeth to make room. it might adjust as her mouth gets bigger
