It’s not at all harmful! It will just interfere with normal occlusion/ the commonly perceived aesthetic smile if they’re present abnormally around your front teeth!

No, In many cases it need not be treated. If it’s causing problems for eruption of other teeth or normal occlusion, ortho treatment can be done.
Helpful. Thanks for sharing.
