Could you pick up braces if you have hyp(o)dontia?

Hypodontia: Hypodontia means missing teeth. An orthodontic specialist can help position all of your other teeth to provide the best possible platform on which your dentist can do restorative treatment. Some of the spaces may be able to be closed, others made ideal for tooth replacement.

Of course: Orthodontic treatment is recommended for hypodontia. Missing teeth create irregular spacing and braces treatment of spacing is achieved by either recreating the space for tooth replacements or complete space closure to avoid the need for implants or bridges. Call your orthodontist today.
