I'm 16 and I have one missing "I" tooth. A couple of years ago my orthodontist said all he would have to do is reshape it, but he had to wait a couple years to let my teeth develop. He also said that I would not need braces. So, I went back months ago, and he found that I have a cross bite, so that would require me getting braces on my bottom teeth, and also that I would need to have an implant for my missing "I" tooth.
So, what I don't understand is why is it that before he
I needed to reshape that area, but now I need an implant?
Also, is an implant the best way to go? HAS ANYONE been in a similar situation!!!!
