Dental bridge: Yes, but I would consider an implant as a treatment option if you are only missing one or two teeth and your other teeth don't have any fillings on them. Ask your dentist what treatment options your have for teeth replacement.

Many possibilities: Canines are the longest teeth in your mouth and should be restored if at all possible. Depending on your bite and health of your teeth, orthodontics, fixed prosthetics, and even implants can be used to restore your mouth. Discuss your treatment objectives with your dentist.

Of course: Dental bridges are commonly used to replace one or more missing teeth. Ask your dentist about dental bridge vs. a dental implant.

Not in this forum: To give you a specific answer to your problem requires more than a computer, it requires evaluation by a qualified Orthodontist. It is preferable to maintain canines because of their root structure and crown function. Generally better to restore than replace. Have your Orthodontist and your General Dentist collaborate to devise the ideal treatment plan for you.
