Second Teeth Obstructed

Second Teeth Obstructed

My 9 year old son still has his first milk teeth and has two second front top teeth that have emerged in front and behind other teeth. (See photo). Is it OK to leave these teeth until he is older or do they require immediate attention.

The teeth are adult teeth coming out it appears although the baby teeth are missing for the adult teeth that are coming out.  It appears that there'll be quite a bit of crowding for his teeth.  I would recommend a consultation with an orthodontist to find out the best time to start braces and to see if there's any treatment that may be necessary at this point to help with preventing the length of treatment with braces specifically.
