Why bridges are important

#1 Post by missing_tooth »

Due to a request via pm. I've posted for anyone else that wants to see it.

Not exactly braces related, but I should have gotten a bridge or something when this was pulled. As you can see the back molar rotating. Nothing that has to be fixed immediately. However, should this not get fixed and continue on it's path I could loose it and the molar above it.

I soooo agree with you! I had a molar extracted in 1996 and all my teeth on that side have shifted causing gaps and incorrect bite issues... Not too mention my face is asymetrical a tiny bit...So here I am 10 years later shellling out roughly 5K to get my teeth in the right place!
