Replacing a Missing Molar

The best and most predictable result would be to upright the second molar and place a dental implant in place of the first molar.  Attempting to move the 2nd and 3rd molars forward can be done, but is time consuming and difficult to accomplish.  By placing the implant you will maintain good bone in that area and can have a crown placed that will give you a nice stabilized occlusion.  Good luck

For your situation, these options both are acceptable. However, the option that includes moving the 2nd molar into the place of the 1st molar can be very difficult and may take a very long time. Even if the tooth is able to be moved into the place of the 1st molar, the bone around the tooth may not be as adequate as if you select the other option. Tipping a molar back into its original position in this case and having an implant placed in the 1st molar position is likely a better option. Hope this helps.

All of these are viable options for replacement.  Moving the two teeh forward with orthodontics is difficult and does not a very predictable outcome.  Even if the space has closed somewhat, a smaller size tooth can be placed on the dental ipant.  IF the tooth behind the space has "tilted" into the space, then the best reatment would be to uprightit then place a dental implant. Thismay require removal of the wisdom tooth, but this is usually of no consequence since it is ususally not a functional tooth., bone gradfting may need to be performed as well if you have lost bone in the area of hte missing tooth
