Nothing to be worried.its not late.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for consulting Ask a doctor service
This is Dr. Priyanka tiwari answering your query.
I have read your query and understand your concern. As far as shedding of primary teeth and eruption of permanent teeth of your daughter is concern there is no delay . Eruption of permannet teeth is there by age 20 so this not too late . Need not to worry about that.
Secondly as you are asking about braces i would like to tell you your child is 9 years old and for braces treatment you have to wait. Your child is in mixed dentition period this time. Wait for permanent teeth to erupt then go for treatment .
Inmeantime consult your dentist reguraly for clinical examination and follow up regularly in 6months .
Hope this will help you.
If you have further query i will be happy to help.
