How can a bite be corrected when teeth are missing?

Multiple options...: There are indeed several options. These options may include orthodontics, a partial denture, perhaps a full denture if the remaining teeth are severely affected by bone loss, fixed partial dentures, and perhaps crowns. The best option can be selected with the professional assistance of a dentist. I would recommend obtaining an opinion from your dentist or search online reviews...

Braces: The same way as with all of your teeth. Once the teeth are moved you will probably need to have the missing teeth replaced to stabilize the remaining teeth and keep them in the new position. If this wasn't explained to you first, then why are you doing the braces?
