That’s a really bad choice you did , you have done damage to your real teeth and bite. It can cause pain and headache in the future. If you don’t have the teeth do implant thats the right solution not damaging what you have
Have you thought of scarring and later abcesses because of all the movement into the wrong positions and then still having to get a root canal. I think the teeth should be moved as little as possible.
@@abbb8238 hi, i have a mising tooth as well and i don’t recommend keeping the gap (esp if the gap is huge). Huge gap without a tooth can cause the loss of jaw bones. So implant is the optimal solution. For my case, i got braces and dont get implant because it was rather expensive and i dont want to leave such a huge gap during the process of having braces. I had the orthodontist close all the gaps (without my missing tooth) and shape the tooth next to the missing one to look like it :))
@@justsomeone9819 omg I have that too and I am wanting to do that (close the gaps without the missing teeth) but i am not sure and didn’t ask my orthodontist about it (any advice?)
I would recommend and implant or other options instead of bringing the teeth together with the lateral incisor missing. That is If you happen to be lucky enough to have sufficient space! I had my teeth brought together with a incisor missing (due to golf club accident) and it never align properly with my bite (top didn’t align with bottom row). Also barely skipping a beat with my retainer and my teeth have a 2 mm gap between front three teeth. Looking into clear aligners since having braces as an adult is embarrassing.

@@lauuvvx7420 I used to have temporary fake teeth in place for my lateral incisors attached to the brackets of my braces. It wasn't noticeable that they were fake but I didn't like how it would move when I bit hard food and that I would need to wear them throughout my life even after my braces are done so I switched to having them removed and having canine substitution done!
@@kayyy9804 Hi sorry for the late reply! My dentist said that the estimate time for mine would take at least 2 years minimum. The procedure still isnt done. First, they made me wear a palatal expander for months and currently theyre correcting my midline and moving my canines beside my front teeth. I'm liking them so far and luckily, I haven't experienced lock jaw like what the others have said. They do shave down your canines to make them look like incisors :(( and I noticed that canines are naturally yellower than incisors but it personally doesn't really bother me that much. Good luck with yours!! Would love to hear about your updates too.
I’m either getting the first option, but with Invisalign that have false teeth opposed to braces, or I will get my canines brought together and reshaped
I am missing three 3rd molars resulting in my teeth or jaws not fitting together properly which has caused me to get tmj as well. What are the possible treatments?
I almost have 3 missing teeth in my lower teeth part, the braces will adjust it and compress it together, will it cause to jaw problems? Or my jaw will be looks more smaller?
I’m very confused and interested in time stamp 1:20- until the end of the video . Can you please explain ? The missing tooth added was that an implant or is there a simple way to put something there until the braces fix your teeth and reconstruct the missing area later
i have those retainers with the two fake teeth and i HATE IT. it looks ridiculously fake but i cant get implants till i am 18. is there any other options?
+Grace Crumley im the same way. I have only one missing on my right side but i still have braces. I've had them for about 2 years now and i still have a year to go. I also need to wait till im 18. After i get my braces i wear the retainer and im getting invisalign trays with a fake tooth. I'm not sure if that's an option to get Invisalign where you get your ortho work done but i would ask about it.
I'm missing both my upper lateral incisors and had a canine substitution done. Beacuse of the resulting imperfect bite and especially lacking aesthetic qualities, I would like to move my canines back in their natural position and get implants instead. Do you think this might still be possible? And if indeed, how long would it take approximately? I'm 22 years old, therefore my jaw is fully developed.
David Payne, Hi! can you tell me how your process has gone? I am currently in the same position you was in at the time of writing the comment. I cannot stand my teeth after the orthodontist took my braces off too soon, and stopped all treatment. Now I have 0 confidence and want to reopen the gap to have replacement incisors. I would really like to know what you have had done please :)
Im only missing one upper lateral incisor, my othodontist said that they will have my completely healthy canine removed from the same side but the lower jaw. Im unconvinced and very scared that it will be noticable, I mean i'm missing one tooth why would u take out another one. I wish I could get an implant instead... Why can't they just close the gap why do they have to remove another healthy tooth?
keep as many of your teeth as you can, and as much tooth structure as possible. get more opinions, figure out other options and or get away from the dentists! the less you mess with things the better. You do not want to lose your tooth because another one is missing. also not everyone's body accepts implants.
I have 2 missing teeth. One is my upper lateral incisor and one is upper fron incisor. I really need to fix my teeth because I have overbite teeth 😥 Is there still a chance to put braces on? Im already 38😓
Katarina Me too. That's why I am asking. ;) do you think about fixing it? I just don't know how it gonna work. I live in country where most dentists don't know about this problem.
Aija Āriņa my dentist want to make space for implants but i'm not sure that i want it because i will wait 3 years for implants because i'm 15 and it will be even worse because my canines are very close to my front teeth and if he moved them back i will literally look like a rabbit
I’m missing one lateral incisor and have just had braces fitted to try and close up the gap, but what seems to be happening is that my two front teeth are moving into the gap as well as the other tooth- I had a Bridge and that didn’t work out, surely my dentist can just use rubber bands to help this? Help!
I have this exact situation except with my cuspids. Ortho wants to replace the missing cuspids with first premolars is this a good idea? He says he would have to do the same for the bottom for my bite to be even which means I need the bottom cuspids eventually extracted.. is this something I should do? Need second opinion.
I have this problem i have a gap in my front teeth and missing lateral in-sizers a slite overbite and misaligned teeth which are causing me to have severe tmj im looking for the best treatment to relieve my tmj pain that what’s bothering me most. Any suggestions?
I had the procedure done where the close the space, another orthodontic informed me that it gave me sleep apnea and TMJ. I wish I got implants but the first orthodontic never told me about them.
My one central tooth on upper gets root canal and I have my lateral missing (because of overlapping issue they need to take it off so that they can root canal may central tooth and both rotten) will it be fix by orthodontics? Or should I go bridges so that I don't need a crown on my central? Or an implant and crown for both?
So the last option where I will have put two fake teeth , how much would this last? I know that an implant must be replaced every ten years and the implant is not an option for me .
I have a missing canine on my upper right jaw and I'm currently wearing braces. My ortho said that she will just move the first premolar to cover the gap. Will it work??? Please answer. Thanks
please share your improvements after getting your braces. I would like to think for the best option for me before having my braces. I think the option four is better than others.
Hello, I got braces and in the top only, is it worth it? I mean in this vid they put rubber from top and bottom to make the teeth pull. should I get braces in the bottom as well? I have braces bcoz i got a lot of gaps/spaces at the top.
Hi. I'm planning to put braces but the problem is I have two missing teeth in front which are filling by dentures. Is it still possible to have braces with this kind of dental case? Thanks!
Hi there I have two missing lateral incisors and had braces to close the spaces for canine substitution. 7 months after the braces have been removed I am experiencing severe jaw problems. Could the canine substitution be to blame? Thanks.
Rebecca hi Rebecca I am missing both lateral incisors as well I am wearing partial dentures which I hate having to take out at night. I have read a lot that moving the canine forward does affect your jaw bone structure and can cause severe discomfort and pain. I know someone who is having it reversed. I am not happy with dentures so here I am looking for alternative that's won't break the bank. 😂
@@Netty4000 i had gaps closed (1 missing lateral) as a teenager but for some reason (thankfully) not all my back teeth were moved forward. However one oremolar was partially rotated and I had a weird gap on one side (not that I was bothered by it too much) . Later I got a deep overbite (after many years of not wearing retainers) and while treating that. The orthodontist derotated the premolar and opened space for an implant and now my bite is way - uneven wear tear I guess on the side of premolar that wasn't used as it shoukd be. The issue i had though was though space was opened up, the rotated tooth roots moved out of bone. It also wasn't able to rotate fully so it is partially stuck. I'm waiting for some healing and wondering if it would be worthwhile moving it back to bone (orthodontist said safest move it to rotate it back like it was which will decrease the canine/front tooth gap but not fully, which compromises space for implant. The other option is to torque that root inward but that has the risk of exposing root on other side/bite even hitting more heavily on that 1 tooth. I'm actually having more pain post 2nd treatment with the opened gap. Any tips on what should be my next steps?
@@amritarajamani wow that’s a lengthy treatment with unsatisfactory results. You might want to start searching for a orthodontist who specifically specialized in congenital missing tooth. I had missing laterals and my Orthodontist recommended wearing braces for 18 months to create space for implants. I did that 2!years ago and I’m happy I did. I now have permanent lateral implants in. It’s and expensive treatment but worth the money as my orthodontist said moving the Canine from their proper position in the mouth can create additional problems and pain as they don’t belong in the lateral space. Not to mention you would have to twist them and shave them down. Implants is a great option but expensive and not covered by health insurance as it’s considered cosmetic where I live.
at first i didn't have 2 gaps at the sides like that but I had a big gap in the middle of my front teeth, then when I got braces they pushed them in together and they pushed my other teeth back so I would be able yo have teeth 'implants'. They said that it would take a year or tow but it has only been like 5 months and the gap is closed! I'm getting the implants in like not even 1 month I think!.
I have my missing both first premolar due to dentist extract my 2 teeth’s on the time of braces .. but i feel very embarrassing and i want my face as previous.. for that i am putting on braces again and dentist recommend me to pull my teeth forward and shape the second premolar as first … so i want to ask .. will it create problem in future .. like in bite or something.??
What if the ones that missing is 1st pre molar on the right and 2nd premolar in the left... What should I do, is there anyone here has the same problem, or is there anyone who is expert or can recommend what should i do.. I dont want to have a gaps anymore. Thanks in advanced for your reply and suggestion God Bless. Always stay safe everyone
Maybe you can use braces to move your wisdom teeth (if you already have them)to fill the gaps . I’m myself will have to remove my two first molars because of decay but my wisdom teeth haven’t grown yet so i have to wait
I am missing my lateral incisors right now. I have braces too, and they have already moved my Canine teeth back. I am also using rubber bands. Do you know if they are planning to put my fake teeth in before I get my braces off or afterwards? Also, do you know how long this process will take, or do you have an idea of where I am in the process and how much time I have left with braces?
Summer Davis Same with me. I got my braces on August 2015. I have 2 gaps where i'm missing the two teeth, and I just want the fake teeth to be put in with my braces on but my dentist never talked to me about that. I know some other people who are missing the two I-teeth and they have fake teeth in with their braces. My orthodontists have measured my spaces twice but nothing ever happened.
Hi. My lateral Incisors teeth are missing and my upper jaw is bigger than the lower. Should I put fake teeth or just fill the space with the canines? Thank you.
I have one tooth missing on my right side and I have braces. My orthodontist didn't give me any implants instead she is trying to drag the rest of my teeth to cover the hole. The consequence of it is that the gap between my two front upper teeth is shifting to the right so my smile is a bit crooked. I asked her if it's going to change and she said that the only way to fix it is if I remove my left fang to make space for the shifting. I don't know what to do now because I don't want to get my tooth removed, is it really the only option?
+Ieva Girnyte Leva, to correct the midline orthodontist require space on the opposite side. however because we don't have full diagnostic record of your teeth and bite we cannot make a recommendation. why not discussing it with your orthodontist and requesting some more information regarding the treatment plan and please keep us posted. we are excited to know what you decided and how your smile will look like eventually.
+Ieva Girnyte Hey I advise that you do not go through with the orthodontics. It will cause you alignment, chewing, and posture issues. After your orthos you will likely have awful tmj and it costs loads of cash to reverse the orthodontics process. regular braces are bad for you too, but when having extractions with moving a lot of teeth it really messes up your bite orthodontists keep this info under the table because they only want money Look it up online if you type in orthodontics causes tmj
I had the same problem. i honestly HATE my smile. I have gone through so many options and my only option and the best was to get the implant in my right side because if not my smile would be unaligned and trust me it is not cute. I hate smiling. I am restarting my braces treatment in a few weeks.
Both my upper lateral incisors are missing my dentist told me I can get implants but I need to wait till I’m 18 and my jaw stops growing. I’m 14 and it’s looks so bad 😭😔
@@briannam1850 so i got a fixed retainer (it's the one behind your teeth) and my orthodontist somehow attached two perfectly fitted teeth on the fixed retainer. I can't take them off if i wanted to (which i would never do :') ) and they just look like normal other teeth. Now i have to wait till i am 20 to get implants since my jaw is apparently still growing. But im really happy with what i have right now :))
@@alexareynoso5017 if the second option is canine substitution, do your research I read a certain face shape shouldn’t get this, and a top orthodontist office I went to didn’t want to do this to me either being it was too risky and could mess up my profile

i have the same one missing too but i want to have brackets but is it possible to like glue the missing teeth to the brackets so that i don’t have a gap? how did you do
Hey I’m getting my braces in 2 days and they want to do this treatment with me how did urs turn out because I’m scared my canines are going going to look more yellow
i did this treatment and it looks terrible. hands down my biggest insecurity
@@lauuvvx7420 I used to have temporary fake teeth in place for my lateral incisors attached to the brackets of my braces. It wasn't noticeable that they were fake but I didn't like how it would move when I bit hard food and that I would need to wear them throughout my life even after my braces are done so I switched to having them removed and having canine substitution done!
@@kayyy9804 Hi sorry for the late reply! My dentist said that the estimate time for mine would take at least 2 years minimum. The procedure still isnt done. First, they made me wear a palatal expander for months and currently theyre correcting my midline and moving my canines beside my front teeth. I'm liking them so far and luckily, I haven't experienced lock jaw like what the others have said. They do shave down your canines to make them look like incisors :(( and I noticed that canines are naturally yellower than incisors but it personally doesn't really bother me that much. Good luck with yours!! Would love to hear about your updates too.
I have a fake tooth on my braces, when I get my braces off how will they keep the tooth there? I don't want a gap there until I get an implant
I’m either getting the first option, but with Invisalign that have false teeth opposed to braces, or I will get my canines brought together and reshaped
I am missing three 3rd molars resulting in my teeth or jaws not fitting together properly which has caused me to get tmj as well. What are the possible treatments?
This is like my teeth. But seriously i dont want to put a fake tooth! Omg helpppp
JOO HYUK
same I have 2 empty teeths kms
Same..
kpop ey
Go for the second thing it just closes up the gap
Matija Covic ako ima malu vilicu onda ne moze valjda jer ce imati problema sa zagrizom
I have 4 missing tooth but fck it i don't wanna wear a fckin fake tooth....
I almost have 3 missing teeth in my lower teeth part, the braces will adjust it and compress it together, will it cause to jaw problems? Or my jaw will be looks more smaller?
Can I still get braces put on if one my teeth are growing
I’m very confused and interested in time stamp 1:20- until the end of the video . Can you please explain ? The missing tooth added was that an implant or is there a simple way to put something there until the braces fix your teeth and reconstruct the missing area later
i have those retainers with the two fake teeth and i HATE IT. it looks ridiculously fake but i cant get implants till i am 18. is there any other options?
+Grace Crumley im the same way. I have only one missing on my right side but i still have braces. I've had them for about 2 years now and i still have a year to go. I also need to wait till im 18. After i get my braces i wear the retainer and im getting invisalign trays with a fake tooth. I'm not sure if that's an option to get Invisalign where you get your ortho work done but i would ask about it.
+Grace Crumley there are a few option. the most common ones are Maryland bridge, a clear retainer with a fake tooth in it as Emma stated.
Emma Rose I have the Invisalign with the fake tooth two
cant we just get braces to close the gap?
onedirection. Apparently, according to my orthodontist, you cant close that amount of space with braces.
I'm missing both my upper lateral incisors and had a canine substitution done. Beacuse of the resulting imperfect bite and especially lacking aesthetic qualities, I would like to move my canines back in their natural position and get implants instead. Do you think this might still be possible? And if indeed, how long would it take approximately? I'm 22 years old, therefore my jaw is fully developed.
David Payne,
Hi! can you tell me how your process has gone? I am currently in the same position you was in at the time of writing the comment. I cannot stand my teeth after the orthodontist took my braces off too soon, and stopped all treatment. Now I have 0 confidence and want to reopen the gap to have replacement incisors.
I would really like to know what you have had done please :)
Hello, I am going through a similar case, how has it gone?
1:17 what is this option called ?
Im only missing one upper lateral incisor, my othodontist said that they will have my completely healthy canine removed from the same side but the lower jaw. Im unconvinced and very scared that it will be noticable, I mean i'm missing one tooth why would u take out another one. I wish I could get an implant instead... Why can't they just close the gap why do they have to remove another healthy tooth?
keep as many of your teeth as you can, and as much tooth structure as possible. get more opinions, figure out other options and or get away from the dentists! the less you mess with things the better. You do not want to lose your tooth because another one is missing. also not everyone's body accepts implants.
I have 2 missing teeth. One is my upper lateral incisor and one is upper fron incisor. I really need to fix my teeth because I have overbite teeth 😥 Is there still a chance to put braces on? Im already 38😓
And where is variant, when you don't have lateral incisor and also have huge gap between front teeth? Is that rare?
Aija Āriņa i have that
Katarina Me too. That's why I am asking. ;)
do you think about fixing it? I just don't know how it gonna work. I live in country where most dentists don't know about this problem.
Aija Āriņa my dentist want to make space for implants but i'm not sure that i want it because i will wait 3 years for implants because i'm 15 and it will be even worse because my canines are very close to my front teeth and if he moved them back i will literally look like a rabbit
Aija Āriņa I live in serbia and dentists are also not very familiar with this problem
Katarina I'm from Latvia... Yea, that's what I'm afraid off, that I will look even more embarrassing than now.
I think I have the method with the bands and reshaping
i dont want to implant or have a fake tooth hanging in my mouth BUT if i refuse to do that, my jaws will be ugly so yeah... i have to
I’m missing one lateral incisor and have just had braces fitted to try and close up the gap, but what seems to be happening is that my two front teeth are moving into the gap as well as the other tooth- I had a Bridge and that didn’t work out, surely my dentist can just use rubber bands to help this? Help!
are dental implants covered by the nhs though?
I have this exact situation except with my cuspids. Ortho wants to replace the missing cuspids with first premolars is this a good idea? He says he would have to do the same for the bottom for my bite to be even which means I need the bottom cuspids eventually extracted.. is this something I should do? Need second opinion.
I have this problem i have a gap in my front teeth and missing lateral in-sizers a slite overbite and misaligned teeth which are causing me to have severe tmj im looking for the best treatment to relieve my tmj pain that what’s bothering me most. Any suggestions?
I had the procedure done where the close the space, another orthodontic informed me that it gave me sleep apnea and TMJ. I wish I got implants but the first orthodontic never told me about them.
My one central tooth on upper gets root canal and I have my lateral missing (because of overlapping issue they need to take it off so that they can root canal may central tooth and both rotten) will it be fix by orthodontics? Or should I go bridges so that I don't need a crown on my central? Or an implant and crown for both?
So the last option where I will have put two fake teeth , how much would this last? I know that an implant must be replaced every ten years and the implant is not an option for me .
I have a tooth missing in the front,will I still be able to get braces
Where's the mamelons I don't know if that's how you spell it but
Did a big head cause the tooth loss? Ya azizi
both my central teeth are missing so I use braces to cover the gap and my laterals will shaped to look like the central ones, will it work?
Have you done it? Did it work?
I have a missing canine on my upper right jaw and I'm currently wearing braces. My ortho said that she will just move the first premolar to cover the gap. Will it work??? Please answer. Thanks
Tom, without proper diagnosis and diagnostic records we cannot answer your question. Please discuss your concern with your current orthodontist.
ask if you can get an implant instead? covering the gap will work, but it wont look good
i had this problem and my dentist decided todo option 4 with a cantiliever bridge tooth. i only have had braces for one year.
+Jordi kaplan share your before and after with us please. we like to see your progress.
please share your improvements after getting your braces. I would like to think for the best option for me before having my braces. I think the option four is better than others.
wait im confused so is this what they do if you lose an adult tooth and you want a tooth put in?
Could be for that to probably. When I saw this I thought of those people that lost a baby tooth but dont have an adult tooth growing.
I'm 12 and my dentist took 2 of my teeth off and they haven't cone back I see my tooth in my gum on one of my missing tooth on the other I see nothing
Hello, I got braces and in the top only, is it worth it? I mean in this vid they put rubber from top and bottom to make the teeth pull. should I get braces in the bottom as well? I have braces bcoz i got a lot of gaps/spaces at the top.
also when in side view my top teeth looks buck teeth
how much time does the gaping and implant will take ???
Namrata shahu 24 months or more
How much longer will I have braces if my orthodontist is performing Treatment #2 and I got them on in February 2015?
+xxSweetCandyKarlixx ! you orthodontist can advise you better regarding your question.
I'm 23 years old and I still have my baby incisors
what will u do
i have one gap, and am using braces to bring my teeth together and to fix my bite, i hope it works
Hi. I'm planning to put braces but the problem is I have two missing teeth in front which are filling by dentures. Is it still possible to have braces with this kind of dental case? Thanks!
+MavzC Torres of course.
+AvA Orthodontics & Invisalign -me too but how?
my orthodontist considered option 1 but how long will it take?
Hi there I have two missing lateral incisors and had braces to close the spaces for canine substitution. 7 months after the braces have been removed I am experiencing severe jaw problems. Could the canine substitution be to blame? Thanks.
+Tris Prior not really. have you consult with your dentist regarding possibility of cavities or root canal treatment?
Rebecca hi Rebecca I am missing both lateral incisors as well I am wearing partial dentures which I hate having to take out at night. I have read a lot that moving the canine forward does affect your jaw bone structure and can cause severe discomfort and pain. I know someone who is having it reversed. I am not happy with dentures so here I am looking for alternative that's won't break the bank. 😂
Netty400
@@Netty4000 i had gaps closed (1 missing lateral) as a teenager but for some reason (thankfully) not all my back teeth were moved forward. However one oremolar was partially rotated and I had a weird gap on one side (not that I was bothered by it too much) . Later I got a deep overbite (after many years of not wearing retainers) and while treating that. The orthodontist derotated the premolar and opened space for an implant and now my bite is way - uneven wear tear I guess on the side of premolar that wasn't used as it shoukd be. The issue i had though was though space was opened up, the rotated tooth roots moved out of bone. It also wasn't able to rotate fully so it is partially stuck. I'm waiting for some healing and wondering if it would be worthwhile moving it back to bone (orthodontist said safest move it to rotate it back like it was which will decrease the canine/front tooth gap but not fully, which compromises space for implant. The other option is to torque that root inward but that has the risk of exposing root on other side/bite even hitting more heavily on that 1 tooth. I'm actually having more pain post 2nd treatment with the opened gap. Any tips on what should be my next steps?
@@amritarajamani wow that’s a lengthy treatment with unsatisfactory results. You might want to start searching for a orthodontist who specifically specialized in congenital missing tooth. I had missing laterals and my Orthodontist recommended wearing braces for 18 months to create space for implants. I did that 2!years ago and I’m happy I did. I now have permanent lateral implants in. It’s and expensive treatment but worth the money as my orthodontist said moving the Canine from their proper position in the mouth can create additional problems and pain as they don’t belong in the lateral space. Not to mention you would have to twist them and shave them down. Implants is a great option but expensive and not covered by health insurance as it’s considered cosmetic where I live.
at first i didn't have 2 gaps at the sides like that but I had a big gap in the middle of my front teeth, then when I got braces they pushed them in together and they pushed my other teeth back so I would be able yo have teeth 'implants'. They said that it would take a year or tow but it has only been like 5 months and the gap is closed! I'm getting the implants in like not even 1 month I think!.
i have this same thing but on one side the gap does not want to close 😐😑
hi! does anyone happen to know what procedure should be done if my incisors are both baby tooth?
I have my missing both first premolar due to dentist extract my 2 teeth’s on the time of braces .. but i feel very embarrassing and i want my face as previous.. for that i am putting on braces again and dentist recommend me to pull my teeth forward and shape the second premolar as first … so i want to ask .. will it create problem in future .. like in bite or something.??
how takes to move that teeth in absence of lateral at age 28? Thnx
ready had braces my gaps are same to this video they tell me will close between 50to80% i’m feeling happy because will pay alot money for nothing
My first 4 tooths are bit larger n front
What kind of treatment i should take
What if the ones that missing is 1st pre molar on the right and 2nd premolar in the left... What should I do, is there anyone here has the same problem, or is there anyone who is expert or can recommend what should i do.. I dont want to have a gaps anymore. Thanks in advanced for your reply and suggestion God Bless. Always stay safe everyone
Maybe you can use braces to move your wisdom teeth (if you already have them)to fill the gaps .
I’m myself will have to remove my two first molars because of decay but my wisdom teeth haven’t grown yet so i have to wait
@@happygirlohyeah7714 can this be possible? Move the wisdom tooth?
@@JohnnyQuetie yup you can
What is the 3rd one called
I am missing my lateral incisors right now. I have braces too, and they have already moved my Canine teeth back. I am also using rubber bands. Do you know if they are planning to put my fake teeth in before I get my braces off or afterwards? Also, do you know how long this process will take, or do you have an idea of where I am in the process and how much time I have left with braces?
Summer Davis Same with me. I got my braces on August 2015. I have 2 gaps where i'm missing the two teeth, and I just want the fake teeth to be put in with my braces on but my dentist never talked to me about that. I know some other people who are missing the two I-teeth and they have fake teeth in with their braces. My orthodontists have measured my spaces twice but nothing ever happened.
Hi. My lateral Incisors teeth are missing and my upper jaw is bigger than the lower. Should I put fake teeth or just fill the space with the canines? Thank you.
+Naser Gashi we need more information with exam and x-ray to advise!
what's second method called
what treatment was the last?
Approx. conservataive cost for a 11 year old to ahve this done?
what was number 3 called
I have one tooth missing on my right side and I have braces. My orthodontist didn't give me any implants instead she is trying to drag the rest of my teeth to cover the hole. The consequence of it is that the gap between my two front upper teeth is shifting to the right so my smile is a bit crooked. I asked her if it's going to change and she said that the only way to fix it is if I remove my left fang to make space for the shifting. I don't know what to do now because I don't want to get my tooth removed, is it really the only option?
+Ieva Girnyte Leva, to correct the midline orthodontist require space on the opposite side. however because we don't have full diagnostic record of your teeth and bite we cannot make a recommendation. why not discussing it with your orthodontist and requesting some more information regarding the treatment plan and please keep us posted. we are excited to know what you decided and how your smile will look like eventually.
+Ieva Girnyte Hey I advise that you do not go through with the orthodontics. It will cause you alignment, chewing, and posture issues. After your orthos you will likely have awful tmj and it costs loads of cash to reverse the orthodontics process.
regular braces are bad for you too, but when having extractions with moving a lot of teeth it really messes up your bite
orthodontists keep this info under the table because they only want money
Look it up online if you type in orthodontics causes tmj
I had the same problem. i honestly HATE my smile. I have gone through so many options and my only option and the best was to get the implant in my right side because if not my smile would be unaligned and trust me it is not cute. I hate smiling. I am restarting my braces treatment in a few weeks.
@@CristinaQV do you like your smile now? I want to get an implant too
If they do the option where they screw it in, how much would that hurt?
Nora Vlogs you would be asleep
@@kdogyt53 not necessarily
Both my upper lateral incisors are missing my dentist told me I can get implants but I need to wait till I’m 18 and my jaw stops growing. I’m 14 and it’s looks so bad 😭😔
Can you ask them to make you a retainer with temporary teeth to fill the space?
They told me that two but now that im 18 i have to wait till im 20 only that i have temporary teeth in the gaps so it doesn't look as bad
Ana what did you get done?
@@briannam1850 so i got a fixed retainer (it's the one behind your teeth) and my orthodontist somehow attached two perfectly fitted teeth on the fixed retainer. I can't take them off if i wanted to (which i would never do :') ) and they just look like normal other teeth. Now i have to wait till i am 20 to get implants since my jaw is apparently still growing. But im really happy with what i have right now :))
Ana omg thank u, i think i’m going to mention this to my orthodontist since i have nothing done on my teeth yet:) thank you so much
I’m missing my incisor tooth next to the 2 front ones and my other incisor is sharp
Even i have the same situation
More videos on this
How much dose it cost
I have a missing lateral incisor 😞
Finally i found ... This is look like my teeth
how can I get braces if I can't afford
Nina Espinosa do you live in England? If so it is free under the age of 18. I'm not sure about other countries
In England is free if your case is really bad. I lot of people are not approved.
What’s the third option called ?
Kiana Hill please tell me what’s about
My 2first teeth one missing i dont wnt implant and fake teeth omg help me 😢plz give me advice if
I’m 18 and I am planning on getting the 2nd method done. Would it affect my jaw shape? Because it looks like the teeth moved back.
It made my cheekbones less wide when they closed the gap, and I got sleep apnea and TMJ from it another orthodontics informed me.
But does your face look off or is it just smaller? How did u solve the sleep apnea?
@@alexareynoso5017 if the second option is canine substitution, do your research I read a certain face shape shouldn’t get this, and a top orthodontist office I went to didn’t want to do this to me either being it was too risky and could mess up my profile
I have this and a overbite
Missing 1 tooth can I have braces with missing 1 tooth?
Is here some one to know how much it will cost
Does it hurt
the level of force applied on the teeth is similar to other type of treatment.
That's my teeth look like.. But the problem I don't have teeth inside its remove.
I'm doing the last one! anyone else?
Me and I m scared...I wanted to do the second one which is shown in this video but my dentist said it's not possible 😒😥
What do they do in the last one?
Larin L what’s the last one about
I got my braces last 4weeks now and y dentist remove 4 teeth :"( it hurts
I'm getting braces and 3 teeth removed, is your teeth gonna a close the gaps while they get tightened by the braces, or are you stuck with the gaps?
This really got me curious. You see, I have a lotttttt of baby teeth. And I think the dentist will either file it or pull it out and replace it with false teeth. I'm not really sure. Then I have this triangular shaped teeth, and I don't know what will happen to it. Mayber cover it too with false teeth?orrr pull it out. I don't know, I'm scared. Thennnn I Have an extra tooth growing on my gumsssss. Gotta do a research =,=
Hahaha I'm missing both lateral incisors but I have no gaps at all!
I never even needed braces :p
