Am I a candidate for dental implants after my extractions? (Photo)

Question

Hello My name is Yaquelin i have a concern i had 4 pre molars and 4 wisdom teeth taken out for braces about 4 weeks ago i haven’t gotten the braces on yet but my concern is that i don’t feel confident anymore i have less teeth and i’m wondering if they’ll get wasted faster i want my molars back and i don’t know if i’m a candidate for a crown of something that replaces a tooth so my mouth doesn’t look smaller and with less teeth.

Hello. Your dental arch is narrow for your teeth which causes crowding.I recommend orthodontic treatment. The empty spaces in your dental arches are being used for correcting your crowding. Although, your orthodontist can plan to use the gaps for maintaining future implant places. This depends on measurements of your teeth and dental arches and the final decision is your orthodontist's.

If you had the teeth out for braces then that's what you should focus on first. Any implant treatments always have to be done after everything else is addressed. If braces can address your problems you may not even need implants.

What I suggest is: Finish first your orthodontic treatment. To see if it is possible to close the gaps with your own teeth, then you would not be needing implants. At the end if you want a cosmetic approach, you can get veneers.I do not suggest to place the implants as you will close the possibility of a restoration with your natural teeth.

Braces or Smilemakeover

Cases like yours can be improved with Braces,you will make your teeth look more nice and even but at the end you will have the same teeth with the same shape size and color,thats why if you want to have a really big change you should think about making a Smilemakeover with zyrcoina crowns or veneers,this will improve the shape size and even color,that will make you love your smile and have the results you are looking for.
