Looks like that kid is going to need braces in the near future. Went through that nightmare with our son from about age 9 to about 13 by the time it was all done. Best to get it done as soon as possible.

When I was 8 a doctor told my dad to either get me braces or get me a trumpet. My dad found out a trumpet was far less expensive so that was what I got. I pushed my front teeth back over time and learned how to read and play music, both of which have helped me my whole life.

Seems that kid has a center gap and they can close that up perfectly. But, he won’t be able to spit watermelon seeds at his sister any more.

Looks like that kid still has his baby teeth. Most kids have all their adult teeth by age 13.
I’ve never heard of putting braces on baby teeth.

I think you are correct, braces must be on permanent teeth. Our sons teeth had just about everything wrong. He had an underbite (bottom jaw was forward of top jaw, top jaw was too narrow, teeth were coming in a weird angles and positions. Know what a turnbuckle is? He had a series of turnbuckles mounted to his upper teeth that were tightened weekly and slowly widened his upper jaw making room for the teeth that were in odd positions to be slowly moved into correct position with the braces. It was an amazing process to witness. After about 4 years of this constant torture his teeth were a work of art. Young kids are amazing in many ways.
