When my 2nd son's permanent front teeth were coming in I thought I had never seen more crooked (I mean they were diagonal in different directions! ) teeth. I couldn't believe it after perfectly straight baby teeth! They seem to be not quite as severe lately and though I think he'll probably still need braces, it may not be as bad as it seems. A lot of times they monitor young children, but wait until the back molars come in before doing anything. Time can only tell.
