Whether or not a child’s double row of teeth can fall back into place after the milk teeth are extracted depends largely on the timing of the removal of the milk teeth. If the milk teeth are extracted early, the permanent teeth will fall into place. If the milk teeth are extracted later, the permanent teeth may not return to their original position and require orthodontic treatment.
1. Early extraction of milk teeth: If a child has double rows of teeth, permanent teeth begin to erupt, and milk teeth are not yet lost, milk teeth should be extracted at an early stage, so as to promote the permanent teeth to return to their positions automatically. At this time, the permanent teeth have not yet fully erupted, and only after the early removal of the milk teeth, the permanent teeth will gradually grow to their normal position.
2. Late extraction of milk teeth: If the milk teeth are not removed in time, there is no corresponding position for the permanent teeth, resulting in the growth of double rows of teeth, and the milk teeth are not extracted in time, the eruption of the permanent teeth will be affected, and they will not be able to grow to the normal position. Even if the milk teeth are removed at a later stage, the permanent teeth will not be able to return to their normal position automatically due to the late removal of the milk teeth, and orthodontic treatment will be needed to make them return to their normal position.
If a child has double rows of teeth, it is recommended to cooperate with a professional dentist to extract the milk teeth as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the normal eruption and positioning of permanent teeth.
