Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Can I get my front teeth removed and then put them back in straight without dentures?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

A tooth is fixed in the bone socket by a connective tissue called as the periodontal ligament. Once we pull a tooth out of its socket, it means that we have completely damaged that tissue. It cannot be regenerated after that. Secondly, our teeth are supplied by nerves and blood supply through a pore called as apical foramen that is present at the apex of our teeth. When we pull out our tooth, all the nerves and blood supply to the tooth is cut off. Placing back the tooth again will not restore all that. So, you can do nothing like that. If your teeth are not straight, then go for an orthodontic treatment. That will make them straight. A wire is attached to your teeth and bone remodeling goes on. With time, it changes the orientation of your teeth and makes them appear straight. If you want to avoid the braces you can go for invisible teeth aligners. So, I suggest you approach an orthodontist. Thanks.
