How Can Misaligned Teeth Be Fixed?
⦁ I have noticed some changes of the aligment of my teeth in the last years.My teeth are not streight mainly the lower middle teeth. If a bridge is place to reemplace tooth Nro. 30, how the previous situation will affect the bridge?
⦁ the tooth behind and front of Nro.30 will be grind a few mmgs, Dr said. However, I am concerned that the tooth that is behind the tooth Nro.30 on one area is very low (almost to the buttom) and has already a big filling. My tooth Nro. 30 use to had a big filing and it was grinded all the way to the bottom, and the crown fell off more than one time, and now i am loosing the tooth. Then, may you please explain me how the tooth Nros 29 and 31 have to be prepared to hold a crown and a bridge?
I am trying to get last x rays to attach it.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..
If there is large filling in the tooth that is used as a support for the bridge or if the tooth structure is insufficient then it will not be able to bear proper forces of chewing and can tend to fracture or the bridge can dislodge..
So in case if you do not have healthy supporting teeth then you can consult an Implantologist and get evaluated..
An Implant can be appropriate option to replace your missing tooth as they do not need support for adjacent teeth..
So first of all discuss with your Dentist and if possible please send me your x rays so that I can advise you more appropriately how you should proceed for the treatment..
Hope this helps..
Regards..
