My son is 13, and just had the ortho workup for braces and doesn't physically have the 2 teeth next to his upper 2 front teeth.
The ortho dr wants to take his other teeth and pull them closer and pull 2 permanent bottom teeth since he is overcrowded.
So we have the dental workup today and he is uneasy of pulling the 2 permanent and wants us to have a 2nd opinion which is fine and we will, but wants to do implants instead of moving those teeth over.
So has any parents experienced this during dental workups? What did you chose and do?
Thanks!!
Missing teeth and braces question?
My son had a similar situation. Our dentist, ortho and 2nd opinion did not think implants were a good idea because of the risk of rejection as well as other issues. have the 2nd opinion but I wouldn't hesitate having the perm teeth extracted.
Reply:well if you do implants it would be a lot of money
just do wat the doctor said to do
Reply:that happened to me.
my teeth moved but there was too much of a space (they pulled a lot of my teeth) so i have one implant. i always get complimented on my smile... literally every day,
but i'm not sure the pain of all that dentistry was worth it. :)
i'm sure i'm happier with my teeth and the past pain than i would be with an overcrowded smile.
Reply:hey i'm 15 and have the same problem. my mom chose to do implants instead. i would look for a second opion because my detentist said that moving teeth over would not work because there would still be space missing some where in my mouth so i didnt really have an option. hope that helps a little.

Kitten has 2 missing adult teeth?
My kitten's (6 months old) has 2 missing adult teeth according to his vet. I am taking him in for x-rays on Tuesday to find out if they are perhaps still up in the gum. What are some other possible reasons why they would not be there? Have you experienced this before?
My kitten is an indoor kitty who is my only pet. He is spoiled rotten so it is not possibly that he got into a fight or anything.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Kitten has 2 missing adult teeth?
Most likely, the adult teeth haven't grown in yet.
Which adult teeth are you talking about? If they're molars, just wait a month or two before having x-rays taken. 6-month-old kittens don't have all their adult teeth. They're the equivalent of a 10-year-old child.
Reply:Hmmmm. Sounds like your vet is right but it might just be taking a while for his teeth to grow in. When I was a baby they thought I'd stay toothless forever! But now look at me I'm just fine. My cats haven't had that experience before but no need to worry. He should be just fine.
Reply:It may be that your off on how old your kitten actually is? It may be that he is a late bloomer. I'd wait a month before becoming worried.

HELLO,
ONLY THING TO DO IS WAIT. ANYTHING WORTH HAVING IS WORTH WAITING FOR.
Reply:No....part of life. Sorry.
Reply:This happened to my bf after a while his dentist had to cut the gums to encourage the teeth to come down.
Reply:There is nothing you can do, you body will push your new teeth up when it is ready. Don't be embarrassed. Just think, as long as they stay under the gumline, you don't have to brush them. I am 46 and have only had one root canal. I have all of my teeth and let me tell you it is a real pain in the butt, keeping them healthy.

Are You Missing Any Teeth?
I am missing 4 teeth due to an accident, but I wear a partial so nobody really notices. What do you do and how many teeth are you missing? Just curious. Thanx.
Are You Missing Any Teeth?
I lost 3 in a car accident. I wore a flipper (I believe the same thing as a partial) for a couple of years and I hated that damn thing. After a few years of gum and jaw bone work, I was finally able to get implants. Implants beat the hell out of a flipper. Every once in a while that flipper would pop out in mid sentence and create horrible embarrassment. Not to mention horribly uncomfortable and a hassle to keep clean.
Reply:I lost a front tooth from a car accident and wear a permanent bridge
Reply:I'm missing 4 as well, due to abscesses. I have a partial too.
Reply:I lost all my teeth this year, I had no calium or bulk in my teeth no matter what I did they just broke off so now I have a whole new set with very straight teeth that won't break.
Reply:I'm missing my 2nd incisors. The adult ones never came in and the dentist told me not to pull the baby ones. so really The baby canines stayed in and the adult canines are sitting next to the 2 middle incisors. then the baby canines got too old and came out and now I have baby sized partials to fill the space. More than you wanted to know?
Reply:I have no back teeth. I had them filled, then they started up again. I decided I did not want root canals, so I told them to pull them. This was done at different times.
Reply:I am a stay at home person now, but I was in the work field for a long time.
Yes I wear a partial too, i am missing 4 teeth actually upper molars 2 on each side, nothing wrong in wearing a partial that shows that you care enough to do some thing for your self- I know dental procedures are very expensive- and a bridge or implants are great if you have the money, I've worn my partial for over 10 years,and no-one knows, sometimes accidents or injuries happen and I know lots of people who wear partials replacing the front and back teeth especially in sports that's where a lot of teeth end up missing.
Reply:I'm missing all of my teeth and I have been since I was 14. The enamel was missing and they started to fall apart really quick so I had them all pulled out. I have dentures but I usually left them out. They don't fit anymore so I just go gummy which my bf kinda likes acutally.
Reply:I am missing 2, my 1st top premolar on each side. They where taken out when I was a kid as I had to wear a brace but the gaps never closed fully.

Missing some teeth???
I'm missing my 12 year molars, a tooth in the front, and my wisdom teeth. No gaps are noticable, they just didn't come in. Trust me, I'm too old to get any new teeth now. Is this a condition to worry about???
Missing some teeth???
Some people are just born that way. It's genetic.
You could get implants and braces, but since you said you have no gaps, I woudn't worry about it.
I worked several years as a dental assistant, and have seen this quite a few times. There is a name for it, but I dont remember what its called.
You're not alone.
Reply:While it's possible that these teeth did not really develop, I suggest that you have a panoramic radiograph taken. It's possible that the teeth are there but are impacted. That means that they did not erupt because of some form of obstruction. Impacted teeth can be troublesome. Some studies claim that up to 10% of them may develop cysts and other conditions. Your wisdom teeth are due to erupt when you're between 17-23 years of age.

How does an orthadontist work around with braces when u got two teeth missing??
Im in the process of receieving braces and i have two teeth missing but my orthadontist didnt think to much of it at least he never mentioned anything to me .. do they just work around the teeth that are missing or how do they go about it... just curious?? does anyone else have teeth missing and received braces
How does an orthadontist work around with braces when u got two teeth missing??
I had a couple baby teeth still when I had mine put on, and they just didn't put a bracket, and they held the space while I was without a tooth. They know what they are doing. I was like 12 when this all happened, so I don't really remember much, but I know everything turned out fine... well until recently when my wisdom teeth popped up and shifted my teeth all out of wack.
Good luck. Listen to the doctor.
Reply:I had four teeth with no brackets on them when I first got braces. It is very easy and normal to get braces before all of your adult teeth are in.
The process is just like normal. The orthodontist cements little metal squares with gruves that hold an archwire in place to each of your teeth, but it this case, the orthodontist will skip the spaces right to the next normal tooth. The wire will run beside the space without touching it and will be fed into the next bracket available. Simple as that.

If your flywheel has a 2 teeth missing in a row duz it have to be replaced???
i have a 1979 Chevy K-5 Blazer with a 10in.lift on 35in.tires. I love this truck. I thought the starter was bad because it was just makin a whining sound, I took the starter off and noticed there were 2 teeth missing right where the starter was hitting it when it cranks over. What should i do ??? And ive heard the flywheel is a long pain in the *** to change. Whats my options ?thank you for takin time to read this .
If your flywheel has a 2 teeth missing in a row duz it have to be replaced???
truth fully it does need to b replaced,,i own a repair shop,,and what it will do is keep eating the Bendix up on your starter,,and it will get worse,,i know its a good little job on that truck,,but it needs to be done,,it will continue to do damage to any starter you put on it,,eventually it will get more teeth gone off from it,,and it will ge to where you cant get it started,,good luck with it,,i hope this help,s.
Reply:yeah you should unless you want to keep eating up starter, and then eventually it wont turn over at all.
It actually is not as hard as you think with the proper tools and a lift
Reply:I would replace the teeth on the flywheel. You can do this instead of replaceing the flywheel
Reply:Yes, has to be replaced. The transmission has to come out to do it.
Reply:Replacing the flywheel if you remove the starter is not that hard, and yeah, you need to replace it. It%26#039;s just going to get worse.
Reply:yeah, it needs to be replaced. besides not being able to start the truck, you now have an unbalanced flywheel attached to the crank! it%26#039;s not that hard to do....if it was a S10 blazer it would be. but the full size has plenty of room to get in there and work
Reply:yep change the flywheel or buy a bunch of starters
Reply:Well, these answers seem accurate but not really experienced. The starter drive will be damaged. Bendix was the manufacturer years ago of parts on the starter. They are not made by Bendix anymore and if they were, it would still be called the starter drive. Now, the gears on your flywheel.....is this an automatic? Probably a 350 turbo or 400 turbo. It is the ring gear that is damaged. I personally have never had any damage from a worn ring gear, but it does happen from time to time. A new ring gear used to cost around 30 bucks and if you take it to a local welding shop they will charge you around 30 bucks for the work to swap them out. AFTER you pull the flywheel off of your engine.....NOW, put a very long bolt on each side of your bell housing when you take the 2 side bolts out. Drop the drive shafts, drop the starter, and take the rest of the bolts out of the bell housing. Now, slide the tranny back letting it ride on those long bolts. Now you should have just enough room to get your wrench up to the crankshaft bolts and get the starter out. Those long bolts need to be about 8 inches long. All-thread will work. Good luck.
