My lower incisors are overcrowded and overlapping can I replace the teeth with an implant
Q. The incisors of my lower teeth have grown overcrowded, resulting in some in them overlapping somewhat and also forcing one to protrude about 2mm higher than the others. I can’t see how a brace would help as there seems very little space to play with (I may be wrong, I often am). Is there anything I can do, like have the teeth removed and replaced with an implant, or is this too drastic given that the teeth are essentially healthy and my problem is purely cosmetic?
A. It is very difficult to say what treatment you require to resolve your crowding without seeing your teeth and carrying out a clinical and radiographical examination.
Sometimes, a tooth can be extracted if is completely out of the arch and if it helps create some space for the other teeth to move into. I cannot say that this is the case for you.
I would recommend you see an orthodontist.
