Braces/Missing Teeth: You can definitely get braces with missing teeth. Some shifting of your teeth may have occurred due to the missing molar. Braces will correct this misalignment so that the missing tooth can be replaced.

Probably: Age is not a deterrent for orthodontic treatment. Set up a visit for records and consultation.

Yes: Wether it's first or second molar lost, you still can have braces in most cases, consult your dentist or orthodontist..
