Dynamics of Shift - Movement
Question:
Braces to fix shifting teeth? My bottom teeth has shifted to the point it looks like I have a tooth missing in the middle.
I have none of my back teeth. Would I be able to get braces not having back teeth? ... Visitor from MD
Answer:
Braces can be placed on your teeth to close the gap.
Radiographs must be taken to view the bone level of your teeth. Insufficient bone makes orthodontic movement a bad idea, because sufficient bone will be needed to hold your teeth in place after braces.
The back teeth would also have to be replaced. See a dentist to see if bone is sufficient.
