I was born without my left lateral incisor ?!
Question: I was born without my left lateral incisor ?
1: I have a lisp because of it.
2. My top teeth are not fair.
There is no gap where it should be!
I am 13 years old, is there any thing a dentist could do (surgery) to like move my other teeth over, and insert a lateral incisor where it should be, and would it be very expensive ? ( i live in montreal, canada, if that helps)
Please let me know !
Answers:
They could probably use spacers or braces to move the teeth apart. After that, an implant OR a bridge would be a good option. I'd say a bridge, because it's less invasive and less expensive. But overall, dental treatment is usually not cheap. Ask a dentist what your options are. :) They can take a look and decide what's best.

they can do dental implants, but im not sure how they would move the OTHER teeth over to insert the dental implant
I have a sibling that was born without two of her adult teeth as well. Its probably more common than we think....
Here is a short You Tube video on dental implants.

You have what is known as a congenitally missing lateral and that is a common condition. An implant can be placed after space have been created with braces.
