Yes: If your remaining teeth and gums are healthy, you can correct crooked teeth without having molars. See an orthodontist for an examination and explanation about how best to correct your problem.

Missing molars: Missing teeth are not a deterrent to Orthodontic care. Please make sure you see a fully qualified Orthodontic Specialist who is the Dentist best trained and experienced to deal with unique problems. Ask your General Dentist to refer you to the Orthodontis in your area that has the best track record managing malocclusions such as yours.

Braces: Braces or other types of orthodontic appliances can generally move any tooth. Without proper stabilizing support it can become difficult or occasionally impossible. See an orthodontist for a consult as to what can and cannot be done in your particular case.
