Odds are she will need braces anyway even if her teeth arent as bad as yours.
We have started saving for our son, I wore braces and had a bad over bite and gentics to play a roll in teeth so we just want to be prepared. My husband also has a gap too so it might be safe to say our son will need some dentel work later on in life.
My daughter had her first dental visit at a year old. She only had four teeth then. By 18 months, she had most of her teeth. At two years old, the dentist warned us that she may need braces. My husband and I both have crowded teeth. I should have gotten braces as a kid, as should my husband but we had no dental then so it wasn't done for us.
We are expecting that she will need braces because of family history on both sides.
Hopefully your DD and my own won't need them but I would not be surprised byt the need in the future.

(I don't know what the teeth are really called but I call them canines because they are pointy almost like a vampire)

I worry about her being teased, but we're militant about building her confidence. We make no mention of our concerns outside of the dentist's office and so far, we've had no issues. On the last visit she told the dentist "I don't want to change my teeth, I like myself the way I am."...I'm not going to stress too much about things as far as the cosmetic aspect is concerned. Her top teeth (4 of them) are always sticking out of her mouth, so we do worry about her sustaining an injury and chipping or breaking her teeth : (
If anyone reading this has crowded teeth, a high palate and gum issues, please check out the symptoms of Ehlers Danlos Symdrome. Another possible symptom is TMJ (jaw issues usually the jaw pops). I have EDS with hypermobility but most doctors know little about it and those that do think it's rare so they don't look for it. I think it's a lot more prevalent but people just don't know about it. Just Google Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. There are tons of links about it. I will try to post about it in May as May is EDS awareness month. There are tons of videos on youtube too but be careful with those as some people have weak stomaches and watching people (with the hypermobility type like I have) turn their arms around backward, twist their feet around, bend their fingers backward etc can disturb some people.
are you ok with another woman calling your husband "hun" or "babe"
