What Will Happen When Baby Teeth Does Not Comes Down With Chain?

I has oral surgery to pull my baby teeth out. I had one pulled on the left and three pulled on the right. The doctor put a chain on 2 of the teeth to pull them down. I had the surgery in October 2012. When I go to the orthodontist for my appointments they put wire and this rubber string on the chain but it seems like nothing is happening. It is now December 2013 and it seems like no teeth are even being moved or coming down. What will happen if they never come down? What will they do?

Hi. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I read your query. You didn't mention the age of your baby. In some cases when teeth do not erupt according to age, orthodontic intervention is useful. The orthodontist must have done an OPG of the child. That shows the number of teeth developing. There is a specific time period for every tooth to appear in mouth, before which they wont. Except third molars, entire permanent dentition erupts by the age of 12-13years.
Don't you worry. Just give child a healthy diet, calcium, milk, vegetables. And follow up with the orthodontist regularly. You can also get another OPG done for knowing various teeth development.
Hope the answer helps. Thank you!
