Hi everyone, I'm new here I read thru alot of the posts and they are really informative and wonderful, thank you.
I have a question re: fused teeth...this is very rare condition so I'm not sure how many ppl here have personaly expience it....but i have 2 teeth that are fused together (i haven't taken the xray so i'm not sure if the roots are fused as well)......i'm wondering if anyone can give me some ideas as to how that will influence braces, etc...cuz i'm thinking of getting braces soon, and so far the 2 dentists have given me 2 diff opinions re my fused teeth
I think it's largely depend on which teeth and how...
I have something...well it's difficult to explain, it's like the 2 pre-molar got glued to molar while developing...so, i do not have 2 pre-molar, but a bit larger molar..... it's difficult to see. My doc said only that this is a tooth with somthing that growed on it (I cannot find exact word in a dictionery) ... but basicly in my case the only thing was that she had to get much biger molar band then usually, and there is no problem with it.....so it's a complitly different story then yours

The pediatrician told me to (now realize we had a good relationship and that he was being quite silly) take her home and treat her as if she were normal.
I use that advice in so much of my life today.
In all seriousness! It may depends on whether the root or the crown are fused. Here's an article I found:
That is my whole reason I started my braces journey. I consider myself lucky in my case. I had two baby teeth fused on the bottom. One central and the eye tooth next to it fused. They both fell out but the only the eye tooth came back in. No central tooth. Thank goodness really cause my trouble is crowding on my lowers. I just had no adult tooth under that baby one. Funny I never realized so many people had this problem. I also have two ribs fused together too! Good luck with your braces and hope the
