What is reasonable to expect with a bridge....?

[mitchsmom]

My son got a bridge to replace an extracted front upper tooth. Now that it's done and in place, it protrudes about 2mm (it is noticably misaligned like a bit of a "buck" tooth).

I'm being told that we can't expect any better than that with a child's bridge, & that the only way that it would be well aligned is to extract the other (perfectly healthy) tooth next to it and have a new bridge created.

So, my question is: Is it generally accurate that children's bridgework can't be expected to be well aligned?

Thanks very, very much for any feedback!
