Tooth Extraction: It is impossible to tell how far your opposing molar will super-erupt. Obviously your teeth will shift. Is healthcare financing an option? Discuss all avenues with your dentist.

Unknown: As an Orthodontist I have often been called upon to realign teeth following "posterior bite collapse." Please see hyoid Den test for help deciding the stability of your current occlusion, the treatment possibilities available for you, and available financing options.
