Braces with missing molars

Working Around Missing Teeth. If a patient is missing teeth, orthodontists have a couple of options when working around this problem. In some cases, it may be possible to use braces to simply close the gap created by the missing tooth. This may be an excellent choice for patients who are already dealing with overcrowding.

Missing front teeth can be particularly problematic as we use them to break off bites of food. The back teeth play a major role in grinding up meat and other foods. Missing molars therefore affect the manner in which we chew everything. And failure to chew adequately can impact digestion, resulting in problems like acid reflux.

Most individuals are missing only one or two permanent teeth, with very few missing more than six. Missing wisdom teeth are the most common, followed by premolars (located between the canines and molars ), upper lateral incisors (located on either side of the central incisors, or “front teeth”), and lower central incisors (front bottom teeth). The disadvantages of implants are that they can cost more and be more time-consuming, and the cost may not be covered by dental insurance.

You will likely have to deal with two dentists—the dentist who does the surgery to place the implant, and the dentist who puts the false tooth on top of the implant. Proper chewing, speech and muscle integrity occur only when teeth, or their replacements, are arranged side-by-side and in an upright position. After all, a normal, closed bite creates approximately 1pounds of pressure. Forward movement of a second molar will create room for third molars to come into the mouth.

Your teeth will be saved from needing a dental bridge or implant by orthodontic closure of the tooth loss space. Orthodontists can move second molars into first molar spaces.
