Answer: You can go for an implant supported treatment
At this stage, trying to disassemble your bridge just to clean it with dental floss will cause greater damage to the teeth underneath. In such cases, you can prevent food accumulation under the bridge body with the devices we call waterpik and provide a more hygienic environment.
Hello. This jaw relationship is not a deep bite. The diastema between your central incisors is because of the orthodontic movement. Your bridge can be re-done by connecting anterior 6 teeth from canine to canine. That will be the best option
Yes, is possible to keep the abutment teeth safe, removing the bridge with an electric motor, lot of irrigation and being very carefully. Is important to take x rays of the teeth, to evaluate the structure and the amount of bone surround them.
