If you are counting the front tooth as the 1st, then the 4th is a premolar (it looks as if she has had the other premolar removed to me).
Braces: Metal fixed upper and lower
Estimated treatment time: 18-24 months

It is a premolar. Very difficult to determine whether it is the first or second premolar however from this view.

For everyone on this board worried about extractions, here's a great example of a nice, big, full smile for someone who had 4 teeth removed :).

Oh definitely, I agree!

She does have a lovely dainty nose though... I am not sure it would be the same for me! It runs on my dads side of the family, large pointy noses! My Ortho said my nose would become more protrusive :lol: :oops: ... I wasn't offended, which is odd for me! :)

Really thanks for all the replies! :D

He used to have bad teeth for his top arch.
Overcrowding etc.

From this picture, is it possible that the fifth teeth from the front is a first molar?
