My friend had the same problem, she lost her one front tooth permanently when she was little. But she had the full braces and now that there of she has a fake tooth, but it looks nice! Oh and we have the same name! :)



You will have to wear full braces if you want to wear them at all. You should speak with your dentist. It may be possible to cap that tooth or pull it and replace it with a veneer (fake tooth) if you don't want to go through with the whole process of braces. I had mine for 2 years and just got them off on Wednesday. It really is worth it, but for only one tooth there are other options you can discuss with your dentist.



No, braces use the other teeth as anchors as the other one moves. What could one brace push or pull against? Sometimes there is an appliance like a retainer with a finger spring that can move the one tooth a little. Can't determine anything without seeing your teeth though.
