When a large tooth is extracted and left empty, it will cause the teeth before and after the missing tooth to tilt towards the center, the opposing teeth to elongate, and in serious cases, temporomandibular joint disorders will occur.
1. The teeth before and after the missing teeth are tilted to the center: the big teeth are extracted and left empty, first of all, the chewing function is lost, which will lead to the teeth before and after the missing teeth are tilted to the center in the long run.
2. Elongation of the opposite jaw teeth: As there is no occlusal contact between the missing teeth and the opposite jaw teeth, it will cause the opposite jaw teeth to elongate over time.
3. Temporomandibular joint disorder: After missing teeth, the opposite side of the teeth will be used to chew food, which will increase the load on one side of the joints and may cause temporomandibular joint disorder.
In order to avoid the adverse symptoms of empty teeth, it is best to have the denture restoration in 1~3 months of missing teeth, and if you have any discomfort symptoms, you should go to the hospital in time and consult the doctor’s guidance.
