Can I Get Braces With a Missing Tooth? – Video Guide

Missing a tooth? It’s a normal condition! You can still get braces, in this video, Diamond Braces orthodontist Dr. Jason Berk explains more.

You Can Get Braces with a Missing Tooth

Many adults are missing teeth: for some people, certain teeth never grow in at all, and for others, they may lose them due to periodontal disease, accidents, or other conditions.

This doesn’t get in the way of braces. In fact, orthodontists have many procedures available to help close the gap caused by missing teeth. In certain cases, it may be possible to fill in the gap by simply adjusting the other teeth into the space to close it.
If this is the case for your smile, your orthodontist will gently adjust the teeth into position without straining the natural position of the teeth.

In other cases, it makes more sense to add a tooth, with help from a dentist. For this procedure, your orthodontist will use braces or clear aligners to open up the appropriate amount of space to fit a tooth substitute. Then, a dentist will fit you with an implant, a bridge, or a partial denture. This can be done with multiple teeth, it just may require more time and careful orthodontia to achieve.

Either way, it is absolutely possible to get braces with missing teeth, and even close those gaps with orthodontia as well as dental implants. And don’t worry, getting braces won’t put your other teeth in danger of falling out.

Maintaining Proper Oral Hygiene Will Help Protect Remaining Teeth

No matter how you lost your teeth, regular brushing and flossing will help you keep your other teeth clean and healthy. It’s important to keep your mouth clean and fresh to protect your teeth!
