Get rid of the bottles at 11 months?

H knocked a tooth on the coffee table yesterday. It bled around the gum but there's no crack or visible damage and he's been eating fine. My uncle and cousin dentists said there's not much I can do from this point so I'm hoping it just tightens back up. I see braces in his future if that space holder tooth falls out. Ughh. 

Anyways, he was having some discomfort when drinking from his bottle but drinks from his cup just fine. Is it wrong to just nix the bottles? He's a 11 1/2 months and doesn't do any night or sleep feedings anymore. We were down to two a day anyways.  I'm wondering if I should turn this challenge into an opportunity. What do you gals think? Too soon? It makes me sad to see him growing up so fast, but he doesn't seem too bothered that they're gone.

    We are 10.5 months and been bottle free for almost 2 months. We switched to sippy cups.

    I don't see anything wrong with that at all. I hope that tooth tightens back up soon!

    My MIL said my BIL refused to take a bottle when she went back to work once he was 6 months. He would only drink from a cup. Edited because apparently I'm an idiot and can't type.

    Thank you all! I'm tired of washing all those little parts anyways (Dr. Brown's). You all have reassured me. Sometimes I think it's harder on us than them,
