my daughter is 13 Her teeth on the top are straight, except for the front 2. One sticks out and kind of overlaps the other. Would braces fix that? also her bottom front teeth are crooked not to severe but towards the left side of her mouth on the bottom one tooth is being part covered by the teeth on both sides. on the right side she seems to have two teeth in one spot. her canine tooth sticks out way front, there is another tooth directly behind leaning far back . however the canine is wiggly.

Based on the information you have provided, your daughter likely has smaller than ideal upper and lower jaws, and likely an overbite, resulting in more crowding of teeth on the lower than the upper. The treatment for this most likely would be expansion of the upper jaw to ideal and then braces, both upper and lower to correct the teeth alignment. Of course, an evaluation by an orthodontist would be a necessary first step. Good luck to you and your daughter.
Braces will address and correct those issues with the alignment of the teeth. You should have your dentist refer you to an orthodontist for an exam and evaluation for braces.
There is no dental indication to soak her feet in epsom salt or to rub them with peroxide/witch hazel. You can discontinue with that immediately.

Thats what braces are for, the wiggles are baby teeth. You need an evaluation soon, as adult teeth come in baby teeth can become trapped and be more difficult to remove. The point of straightening teeth is so they will last as long as possible. They are easier to clean when they are on a straight line (not crowded), the bone is healthier when teeth are spaced properly, back teeth work better when they contact the proper way. All of these are goals of orthodontic treatment, as well as a pretty smile.
