Canines (teeth) taking ages to push through

[lagunabeach]

Hi everyone.
Im 14 and when I was 13 my milk teeth canines had to be taken out as they were the only milk teeth left in my mouth, and they weren't budging.

Anywho it's taken about 3/4 of a year for my adult canines to start coming through (finally!)- I was really self concious about the gaps in my smile.

Anyway, they seem to have not moved anymore after 2 months. Does anyone know roughly how long it takes a tooth to come down fully, I cant remember? I'm asking because I'm sick of not being able to smile for a long time.

Thanks for replies.

Hello there honey , maybe this will tell you . I bet you shouldn't really worry , though at 14 I guess it's understandable :-) xxx
