Will I have a gap in my mouth after my tooth extraction?

February 14th, 2013
Q.

Hi I’m just wondering if I need braces because I recently had a dentist appointment and he was looking at my teeth and said it looked a bit overcrowded. I have like a vampire tooth sticking out which he noticed and he said would I like it taking out? Does it bother me? And I said no it doesn’t bother me. Recently though, I have come to realise that I feel uncomfortable when I smile because of that tooth. So I’m thinking if I get that tooth out will it just leave a gap or will my dentist give me braces?

If i have to have a brace so be it, but what are the alternatives?

Q.

Hello i’m 17 and I think I may have an issue with my front lower teeth, firstly I was wondering whether there should be any play in teeth, in terms, of wobbling/mobility because gums and bone are not quite metal and concrete I assumed there would be, if this is the case there should be no issue they just seemed to be wobbly and having never noticed it before I thought there may be an issue. However I was just wondering because my teeth are becoming crowded and I may need a brace to pull them apart? I don’t particularly want a brace however if its necessary i’m not fussed, I would like to know what the best alternates are for potentially crowded teeth? Thanks for taking the time out to read this.
