Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam!
My son is 14 years old and is missing the upper lateral incisors. I would like your opinion on orthodontic treatment, or whether the situation can be managed in some other way, because I would not want implants.
Thank you for your answer and kind regards,
Metka

Dear Sir/Madam!
I am not an orthodontist. In any case, the best solution is the one proposed by the specialist: arranging the position of the teeth and, of course, subsequently replacing the lateral incisors with dental implants. If you reject implants, the lateral incisors can be replaced with a conventional bridge, but this usually requires at least grinding both canines.
Have a nice day!
