Can lateral incisor spaces be opened for implants utilizing TADs for distalization or through other means? (Photo)

as an orthodontist, i recommend to go for veneers to improve aesthetics, as u know u have missing two upper and two lower. s i can see in lateral ceph , we can afford proclination. but if u r happy with teeth visibility during speech and smile, veneer is ideal option.  definitely u can go for space opening for implants but its time consuming and expensive option. just imagine , in future lateral incisor implant fails , than what? , there r many other issues associated with implants, u have nice set of teeth , so my advice to go for veneers and convert canine into lateral incisor.

Thank you for supplying the imaging!!!   The answer is a definite maybe.    Your arch could use some expansion just to place the canines into a proper position but you may not get enough for premolar implant space. I feel you can get space for lateral incisor implant but don't expect perfect spacing! TADS may be needed if the molars can be dragged distally (rearward) but that is an enormous task that an orthodontist may not be willing to do.   Interview at least 3 orthodontists and ask whether they've had experience with very difficult cases such as yours. This'll take several years in my opinion so be prepared!   Good luck and let me know if it's a go, I'm interested in your circumstance.

The lateral incisor space, if inadequate for dental implant, can be created by an orthodontist using conventional orthodontic techniques. TAD is an adjunct technique that can help the orthodontist achieve the desired results. During you consultation with an orthodontist, he or she can present you with the optimal treatment plan.
