CAN I STILL GET CLEAR ALIGNERS WITH HYPODONTIA (MULTIPLE MISSING TEETH)?


All Blogs


CATEGORIES:

 * Orthodontics

When you’re missing multiple teeth, your first thought may be to go the route of
dental implants to gain back your smile. While dental implants are a quick way
to replace missing teeth, they’re also a permanent solution. Meaning, once
they’re in, they can’t be moved during orthodontic treatment like natural
teeth. 

So if you’re interested in gaining back your healthy bite and chewing strength,
orthodontics can be part of your smile solution! Just for Grins Orthodontics is
proud to provide both braces and Invisalign treatment for all ages and case
complexities. Yes, even in the case of hypodontia (those born with missing
teeth) and other cases of multiple missing teeth. Which means you can be a
candidate for Invisalign with missing molars!

Here’s how our experienced orthodontists can help patients with multiple missing
teeth achieve their smile goals.


WHY WOULD I NEED AN ORTHODONTIST FOR MISSING TEETH?

If you have multiple missing teeth, you may or may not need orthodontic
treatment. It all depends on the positions of your teeth and the alignment of
your jaw bones. 

But often with cases of multiple missing teeth, the surrounding teeth will start
to drift to fill the spaces. As teeth move out of healthy alignment, this can
create new orthodontic issues, including crowding and malocclusions (bite
misalignment). 

In some cases such as missing back teeth, you can even experience the super
eruption (or overeruption) of molars within a first year of tooth loss or even
years later. This is where molars emerge too far from their place in the
alveolar bone (the bone that holds your roots) and begin to expose the roots of
the tooth. You may see this phenomenon when a tooth looks longer than the rest
and feels particularly sensitive. With full orthodontic treatment, your
orthodontist can intrude (or move) overerupted teeth back into your jawbone.

Missing teeth can create orthodontic problems at any stage of life. Studies by
the Journal of Clinical Orthodontics show that “craniofacial growth does not
stop in young adulthood but is a continuous process even into later
ages.”Orthodontic problems can affect your quality of life, including your
confidence, self-esteem, chewing, and bite functionality.


CAN BRACES FIX HYPODONTIA?

Whether you’ve lost multiple teeth to tooth decay, periodontal disease, or an
accident; as long as you’re committed to caring for your dental health, our
orthodontists are happy to be part of your smile restoration journey. 

You mentioned hypodontia? What is that? Hypodontia is a rare congenital disorder
where 1 to 6 teeth never develop. Up to 8% of the population is born with this
condition and it often requires a team of healthcare professionals to treat – an
orthodontist included!

A few of the options available to patients with multiple missing teeth are
modern braces made of metal or ceramic. So you can rock a sleek metallic
treatment or go discreet with a tooth-colored bracket. 


BUT CAN YOU USE INVISALIGN CLEAR ALIGNERS WITH MISSING TEETH?

No matter the cause of your missing teeth, our orthodontists’ level of skill and
experience enables us to treat you with your preferred treatment option. If you
have multiple missing teeth and need orthodontics, we can develop a plan to help
you achieve your goals. So yes, that means even Invisalign® can be used to treat
bite issues caused by missing front or back teeth. 

In some cases, you may require a space maintainer to preserve the space created
by a missing tooth or teeth. Space maintainers prevent teeth from drifting over
and creating a more severe misalignment. This is true for if the missing tooth
needs to be replaced too, we can hold space for the restoration as well. 

At your first visit, our team will explain the purpose of any orthodontic
appliance used in conjunction with your braces or Invisalign treatment.


IT’S TIME TO GO FOR YOUR DREAM GRIN!

The best way to determine whether you’re a good candidate for orthodontic
treatment is by visiting us for a free orthodontic exam. One of our
highly-experienced orthodontists, Dr. Dunn or Dr. Schreiber will perform a full
examination of your smile and present your treatment options to help you make
the best decision for your smile. 

It takes $0 to find out if you’re a good candidate for orthodontics! You deserve
to live your most confident life. Request a free orthodontic exam with us at any
of our orthodontist offices in Montgomery, Wetumpka, or Millbrook.
