Can I get Dental bridges if…..? (picture provided)?

I basically have this problem below:
http://www.bensonortho.com/banda/4b.jpg

I'm 18 years old and since I have no patience or time for braces,(please don't tell me otherwise) I was thinking of having the adult cuspids and the baby ones underneath pulled out. Then, I wanted to get dental bridges to fill in the gaps on each side.
Is this possible for my case?

No, I don't believe you can get dental bridges for gaps because how would the tooth stay?

Teeth are stabilized into your gums because the doctor grinds your real teeth until it's small and fits/glues the fake porcelain veneer tooth over it.

You could ask your dentist though.

I also honestly don't recommend bridges in general. Maybe it's just me but I rather go through the time for braces and keep my real teeth. Bridges do wear over time and the real teeth under can decay.

To the person under, bridges usually don't look fake. you can have the tooth made into whatever shape needed and have it painted to the exact color tone of all your other teeth.

To perfectly honest with you..... never pull teeth that are healthy! Bridges wear out over time and need to be replaced. They can break and can look fake.

You really need to see an orthodontist and discuss a treatment plan. sorry but that's my best motherly advice.

I have the same problem! I still have BRACES on though. I've never heard of those, but braces are the best solution in my case. I had the 2 on top removed and they are looking great. But for bridges, you urself have to try it.

just get invesilign.(cant spell it). it less of a hassel as braces nd it works faster.

Uhhhmmmm...I think you will have a hard time finding a dentist (who isn't a total quack) that will pull your permanent cuspids. These teeth are the strongest in your mouth, considered "eye teeth" because the root is the longest therefore extracting them will probably be difficult and painful. Not to mention how expensive it's going to be to do what you mentioned...but it just seems really unneccessary. I would urge you (even though you don't want to hear it) to at least seek out information on Invisalign. MANY adult patients (men & women) wore these and it was because they were vain and impatient and didn't want to deal with regular braces. They all did well with them and were satisfied. I just feel you would be doing way more harm than good by pulling your cuspids and getting bridges. sorry, sorry, sorry for telling you what you didn't want to hear.

No, it's not possible.....how's that for an answer. Cuspids are the cornerstone teeth in your mouth and as such, receive immense masticating pressures. a fixed prosthesis would not hold up. That being said, you could have implants and crowns but I sure wouldn't do them in my practice due to the above mentioned problems. Extracting the cuspids will set you up for lifelong misery. get over yourself!

    This is heartbreaking. I volunteer at a crisis pregnancy center...have been there for 18 years...and I see these poor girls that view abortion as a form of birth control. That is what they have been told for so long, they do not even question the immorality. I think it is, if it's legal, it must be OK. It is our generation's holocaust. So very sad.

    I dont know if it's possible to make such a blade naturally. Unless you used some kind of special alloy that had that exact color, but then you are still left with how to get the black highlights... Not exactly a trivial task, if it's even possible... And that's not even considering whether or not the resultant alloy could even be sword worthy...

    So rel="nofollow" & I picked out paint for the new kitchen... The same EXACT color as our livingroom. This is the 2nd time we've done that

    "I" from "I am" is the noun.
    I'm pretty sure 18 years old (yes, the whole thing!) is the adjective

    Hope I helped!

    I'm just being realistic. I'm not looking for Love at 18 years old.

    Laws of physics ordain it would add prominence and width to the teeth, but ours is the thinnest product out there by far. Very often people who lose teeth suffer from a "caved in" look over time and the prominence is a welcome thing. Other bright notes: it spreads out lip wrinkles and gives you the look of Hollywood, where everyone has big teeth from veneers.
