Yes, it is possible to move a bridge. However, normally one would remove the bridge and place temporary crowns on the supporting teeth (abutments). The missing teeth would be replaced with a temporary removeable partial denture. Then the supporting teeth could be moved. Once they were in a more ideal position, then a new bridge could be made.

HELLO,

IF THE BRIDGE IS IN IDEAL POSITION, ALL THE REMAINING TEETH CAN BE MOVED TO MATCH IT. THIS IS EXPECIALLY TRUE IF YOU'RE MISSING ONE OR TWO FRONT TEETH.
