Not typically, but yes. If they're crooked then, the permanent teeth might be messed up too. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 13:17 3
- But fixing the babies won't fix the permanents, will it? -- nm - TFox Sep 4, 13:17 2
  - No, but it might help when the new ones are pushing in. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 13:20 1
    - (although I wonder how they know a tooth is loose/out if braces are holding it in? odd.) -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 13:21
