Teeth growing over baby teeth, will I need braces?

I'm kind of young... (I'm not saying how old I am, lol) so I didn't lose all my baby teeth yet... Well my adult teeth sure want to grow in a hurry. Two of my adult teeth are growing over my baby teeth that didn't fall out yet! :/ I don't have dental insurance yet, so I don't know what will happen yet... Will I need braces, or will they just pull out my baby tooth? Or will they pull out my baby tooth, then give me braces?

Teeth growing over baby teeth, will I need braces?
Normally the dentist might pull out the baby teeth so the new teeth can come in properly. In my case they didn't do braces but that was a longggggggggggggg time ago. They just had me push on the new tooth to help move it back into place gradually. This was not a total solution and there is no way to tell if you would need braces or not. You do need to go see your dentist to get this taken care of though. Without seeing your mouth there is no way to tell what will happen once they pull the baby teeth.
Reply:I dont think u will need braces.. well not for this reason anyways. the big teeth should just push the baby teeth out as they grow. or the dentist will pull them out. I had baby teeth in when i got my brace agess ago and they had to be pulled out.
Reply:You need to have the baby teeth removed if they aren't coming out by themselves. If they stay in, they can make your permanent teeth crooked and then you will definitely need braces. It is worth the expense to see a dentist now, rather than have to pay an orthopedist a huge amount.
