bRinging foRwaRd molaRs

#1 Post by stRaighteR »

hi, i may have to have one first molar extracted, and i don't want a tooth implant, is it possible to bring the 2nd and 3rd molars forward? I have heard it is possible with cherry loops or microimplants / microscrews. Thanx in advance =)

I'm going through the same process as you are, I had actually all four first molars extracted as WESTERN DENTAL screwed up on a dental treatment I had years ago so they were in bad shape and needed extractions there was just no way to fix them. Anyways I was told by my ortho that hes going to continue with ortho treatment but for some odd reason didn't mention microimplants, so I'm assuming that its not necessary. That is another question yet to be asked.

i understand about having teeth messed up, because this tooth will have to be removed due to a dentist mess up, and i am not pleased at all. I'm hoping something can be done.

Depending on your bite they may move your anterior segment posteriorly or your molars anteriorly. Most likely it will be a combination, but i'm guessing you are trying to figure out if a molar space can be closed and the answer is "normally".

Good Luck,
Rory

well i have no problems with my bite at all...i got out of braces 8 years ago, and my teeth have managed to remain stable...so there will be nothing really to move around except for the second and third molars...

hey guys, i got the answer. I went to a consult today, and i was told that it is possible to bring the 2nd and 3rd molar forward. I was hoping for just a microimplant, but i will have to have the upper arch (only) done and it will take maybe a year. I'm going to take the plunge as soon as I save. This is my second time, and i'm glad that i won't have to get a tooth implant, so i'm thankful.

Glad it will work out for you. I asked my ortho the same question cause I wanted to avoid having a bridge (insurance wont pay for implants). Unfortunately, I can't have the 2nd & 3rd molars moved. Well technically they can be moved but it may bring on more problems than I am willing to deal with such as the bone not growing around the roots enough for the teeth to be stable and possibly resulting in loosing the teeth. The younger a person the better the out come.

I'm curious why you dont' want the implant instead of moving the molar?

If you have good bone, it would be faster to get the implant.
Although I'm sure, more expensive.

Heres my story I have the same situation and its going to cost me little over $6,000 for bridge work and apperently they want me to take two weeks off so they gave me that option or the option of pay $3,500 for orthodontic treatment so I went ortho treatment!

i agree with u...in the long run, bridges and implants cost a lot of money...i have found that the braces route is cheaper...

Hey guys, I'm having 4 bisc. extracted to make room and my doctor said that we might have to bring some of my last molars forward if my incisors become oddly inwards! Hope that helped!
I should do an implant once I'm done with braces (missing 2nd molars and wisdoms on my lower jaw) but for a reason I don't think I will have them because something can go wrong and I wouldn't want to ruin my (hopefully then) perfect smile!
