Wonderfully...: It is important that your orthodontist and dentist work together to make a plan that will create the final result desired. At times the missing teeth are not replaced; the braces are used to move the adjacent teeth into those places. In other times the space is maintained during and following braces so that replacement can be accomplished. A team approach with your dentist makes this best.

Yes!: Unfortunately I do not know which teeth are missing; but braces can either close the spaces, or they can open the spaces to allow replacement of the missing teeth. Some dentists give free consultations, and that would be the best way to get your questions answered!

Of course: If you have a missing teeth, the orthodontics treatment can improve the alignment of the remaining teeth and may make possible better tooth replacement options for your dentist. Ask your orthodontist for more information. Take care.

Platform: One of the advantages of Orthodontic Rx is that we can create the best possible platform on which to do restorative treatment. The Orthodontist gives the Restorative Dentist the opportunity to provide you with esthetic magic. Talk this over with a qualified Orthodontic Specialist who have many more tooth straightening tools at their disposal than a GP who dabbles in this specialty area.
