Number of Teeth - crowding

[Contach]

Hi, I am wondering if someone can tell me if they have ever seen anyone with more than 4 lower incisors.. like 6 of them?

And also, if crowding is occurring in the lower row of teeth, would it be possible to pull out teeth to allow room for the others to grow in straight?

Thanks.

Are you looking for personal advice?

That aside, yes, you can have supernumerary (extra) teeth. Yes, dentists will often extract teeth (esp. premolars) to make room if needed.
