Do you have to lose all baby teeth before braces?

Can you have braces with missing tooth?

You may have wondered whether you can get braces if you have one or more missing teeth. The good news is that the answer is most likely yes. In fact, braces can be a great option for people missing a tooth, as they can close or widen gaps to leave the perfect amount of space for a replacement.

Can braces close a missing tooth gap?

Can a 17 year old get braces?

Is it bad to still have baby teeth at 15?

The reason why some people still have baby teeth at an older age is not well understood. It could be due to genetics, environment, or an endocrine disorder. A teenager may have a condition called dental ankylosis that causes baby teeth to fuse to the jaw bone and prevents them from falling out.
