Would braces/invisalign fill in a gap left by a missing tooth?

Missing Teeth: Absolutely. The congenital absence of a permanent tooth can leave spaces that may be unsightly, if in the front of the mouth. These spaces can be filled with teeth adjacent to the missing one. On the other hand, if a tooth was removed and a space resulted, that space can also be closed. Conventional braces or invisalign tooth aligners can be used to close spaces of this type.

Missing tooth: This depends on which tooth is missing, the size of the space, and your bite. If the tooth was removed, the space may be too large to close with braces or invisalign. If this is the case, an implant or a bridge will be needed to replace the missing tooth after the completion of orthodontic treatment. Your orthodontist will do an exam and space analysis to make this determination.

Perhaps: Understand that braces are more than twice as effective as invisalign. One of the things invisalign does not do well is closing large spaces. Answer to your question has to do with size of space, location, how long space has been present (no tooth--bone dissolves away) and the effect space closure would have on the rest of your occlusion. For best answer see qualified orthodontic specialist.

Likely: there is a VERY good chance we can fill in your gaps with orthodontic treatment. however, to be sure, you'll need to see an orthodontist who can examine your teeth
