Am I a candidate for lateral incisor implants? I am 20 years old.

May 25, 2015

Hello! While I had braces, I had to get my lateral incisors extracted and instead of inserting implants where my lateral incisors should be, my orthodontist closed the space with my canines. I honestly do not like the aesthetics of it. Is there any way I can get braces and have them move my canines into its canine position and just put implants in my lateral incisor position to achieve a symmetrical smile? I am 20 years old. Is this possible using a palate expander? Thank you!
