Can your teeth move after extraction?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, they can: Teeth can always shift over time, even without extractions. But when there is extra space, they move more easily.

Definitely, yes: The opposing and adjacent teeth will continue to drift or move until there is an equal and opposing force. See your dentist for your treatment options.
