A member asked:
I have 26 teeth (14 on the bottom jaw and 12 on the top jaw) and my 2nd molars on each side of the top jaw are missing?

The second molars may be impacted, or possibly missing. A visit to your dentist with radiographs will answer your question.

Though unusual it's not rare. I've had patients with as many as 14 missing teeth. Talk to your Dentist about having an Initial Orthodontic Examination (usually free) conducted by an Orthodontist. to see if there is anything that should be done in the way of tooth repositioning to help prolong overall dental health.

If I have a crown in one of my molars and the crown is slightly unfit (bigger than what my jaw allow, just slightly), could braces possibly adjust that to align/fit my other teeth as well or should I get a new crown that perfectly fit before braces?
