Visitor asks:

Hello,
I have been wearing fixed braces for a year and a half. Because my upper right lateral incisor never developed, the arrangement of my teeth did not look very good, so my orthodontist suggested fixed braces to create space for a new tooth where the permanent lateral incisor should be. The space is now large enough, so I slowly have to decide about a dental implant. Since I do not have a root there, I would like to know what solution you would recommend. I am 22 years old. Thank you very much for your answer; it will be of great help to me. Thank you and have a nice day, Maja

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Maja!

If the bone and anatomical conditions are satisfactory and the neighboring teeth are healthy and intact, we certainly recommend a dental implant. For an exact answer, we would need to see at least an X-ray.

Have a nice day!
