Orthodontic treatment can be done for large teeth missing inside, but it is usually more difficult and treatment options need to be chosen based on the patient’s growth and development.
Big teeth are multi-rooted teeth, orthodontic movement is more difficult, need to choose the program according to the oral situation.
1. If the patient is in the period of growth and development, the roots of the molars behind the gap have not yet developed and there is a third molar (wisdom tooth), then orthodontic treatment can be considered to pull the third molar to close the gap, but it usually requires a longer period of time and good cooperation from the patient.
2. If the patient has passed the peak growth period or has no wisdom teeth, orthodontic treatment is usually adopted to retain the missing gap, mainly to correct other teeth, and the missing gap is usually restored by implant restoration or fixed denture restoration after the age of 18.
It is recommended to pay attention to oral hygiene, regular oral examination, early detection and early treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
