I am missing my upper right canine tooth (it's an adult tooth). Would it be good if I got braces? (Photo)

Question

Thanks for posting the photo. I think you would be an excellent candidate for braces. Your canine may  still be up in the bone and could be pulled down. An x-ray should help answer this question. If you don't have a canine an implant may be placed after orthodontics have moved your teeth into their ideal position.

Ben Fishbein, DDS · Answer

I would suggest setting up a consultation with an orthodontist in your area.  Canines are sometimes impacted in the bone, and your orthodontist can set up a plan to pull the tooth in place.  I've included a web reference for more information.  Good luck!
