With missing alveolar bone and a large gap between teeth, how can I correct my teeth?

If you have missing alveolar bone and large gaps between teeth, it is recommended that you consult a professional dentist. They can develop the best orthodontic plan for you based on your specific situation. Here are some possibilities:

Tooth fillings: If you have large gaps between your teeth, your dentist can use dental fillings to close the gaps. Fillings can be resin or ceramic materials that can match the color of your teeth to make them look more natural.

Dental veneers: Dental veneers are thin sheets that cover the surface of the teeth and can be made of porcelain or resin materials. They can close gaps between teeth while improving the color and shape of teeth. Dental veneers can be applied to a single tooth or to multiple teeth.

Braces: If your teeth are misaligned, your dentist can use braces to help close the gaps between your teeth. Orthodontics can be made from metal, ceramic, or invisible materials. By gradually adjusting the force of the braces, the teeth will gradually move into the correct position, closing the gap between the teeth.

Dental implants: If your missing alveolar bone problem is serious, your dentist may recommend you to undergo dental implant surgery. Dental implants are a treatment in which artificial teeth are placed into missing teeth to restore the shape and function of the teeth while closing gaps between the teeth.

No matter which method is chosen, it needs to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. Before undergoing any treatment, make sure you have a detailed discussion with your dentist to learn about all the options available and understand the pros and cons of each method. At the same time, maintaining oral hygiene and regular check-ups are also important factors in maintaining a healthy mouth.
