Dr. Szarek would need to exam your teeth for a complete diagnosis and treatment options. But we will explain how dentists, in general, handle permanent teeth that grow behind primary teeth.<\/p>\n<h2>What Can You Do About Primary Teeth that Grown Behind Permanent Teeth?<\/h2>\n<p>When primary teeth grow behind permanent teeth, a dentist can correct the issue with orthodontics if the permanent teeth have erupted. Brackets attached to your permanent teeth will help move them to the correct position.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Remove primary teeth<\/strong> \u2013 Your dentist or orthodontist must remove the primary teeth to make room for the permanent ones and help them erupt in the correct position.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Possibly remove a few permanent teet<\/strong>h \u2013 If your teeth are crowded, your dentist might recommend removing some permanent teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>When Permanent Teeth Never Develop<\/h2>\n<p>When permanent teeth never develop due to disease, a medical condition, or genetics, a dentist or orthodontist can<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use braces to correctly position the tooth on either side of the missing one<\/li>\n<li>Remove a permanent tooth to make room for replacing the missing tooth if necessary<\/li>\n<li>After orthodontic treatment, replace the missing tooth with a dental implant and crown<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Will Porcelain Veneers Help Primary Teeth Look Larger?<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_518\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-518\" class=\"size-full wp-image-518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/teeth-whiten-porcelain-veneers-lowell-ma.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of a porcelain veneer, which cannot be whitened, held against a natural tooth for Lowell, MA cosmetic dentist Dr. Szarek\" width=\"250\" height=\"253\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-518\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At times, porcelain veneers are an option for helping small adult teeth look larger<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Although a porcelain veneer can help a primary tooth look larger, it may not be the solution when a permanent tooth is behind the primary one.
