[quote=Anonymous]I was missing a molar. My recommendation is to start orthodontic work on the early side - like age 8-9ish. Back in the early 90’s, my parents were told to wait until I was almost 12. The tooth was far back enough that they decided to remove the baby tooth and close the gap. The problem was that I was older (a teen by the time they pulled the tooth) and my jaw didn’t handle that major shift of teeth very well. I ended up with tmj type headaches and they ended up opening the gap and putting in a bridge. The new gap was too small for an implant at the time. I recently was told that newer implants are smaller and would fit, but I’ve learned to be happy with my little bridge.[/quote]
