I've had three teeth pulled about a year ago.. should I first get braces or can I do bridge?

I went to the dentist today and she insisted that my teeth that I removed about a year ago are starting to shift so I should first get braces and then get implants... of course she's an implant specialist so I thought maybe she just wanted us to use her expensive services.





I never thought about actually getting braces because I didn't think my teeth really needed them.. I asked her if I can just do a bridge now and then get braces after and she said no.. it won't work.. but since I never intended on braces until she mentioned them.. should I just go with implants without doing the braces afterwards? Or even just a bridge now without doing braces afterwards.. I know the teeth next to the missing teeth may have shifted just slightly but wouldnt a bridge now stop it from keep moving out of place? obvoiusly the surrounding teeth won't be perfectly straight but who has perfectly straight teeth anyway?





Can a professional please advise me.. I really can't afford both braces and bridge

I have to get a bridge later on in life for my badly chipped teeth, but my dentist recomended that I get braces first so that they can correctly put the bridge on when your teeth are straight. Plus if you dont want the bridge,get braces because if you have chipped teeth they pull them together and make the chip look smaller. But if you just have missing teeth, then get braces becausethey will pull your other teeth together.
Reply:Bridges are really annoying. Food gets caught underneath them, and you have to excuse yourself to clean it out from under the bridge~really inconvenient if your eating fast food in the car. You didn't say whether they were front or back teeth.


Some dentists like to keep you in their chairs in order to fill their pockets. A friend of mine had a lot of her teeth capped, and when he got done with that he announced that he would now like to pull them all and give her false teeth~WTF.
