Teeth that have tipped into a space or crowded together can complicate replacing or rebuilding others. Northwood residents can learn why position is part of the planning.
Let's find a time
A restoration needs room, and it needs to meet its opposing tooth in a workable way. When teeth have moved, as they can next to long-standing spaces, there may be too little room for a replacement or a bite that makes rebuilding harder. For that reason, position is examined along with decay, gums and existing dental work.
In some plans, orthodontic planning is considered, moving selected teeth when their position affects restorative space or bite. In others, it plays no part. Northwood is an area of Winnipeg, and residents have their assessment at our McPhillips Street clinic, where the sequence is explained to you.

Space is measured against what a future crown, bridge or implant restoration would need.
Where orthodontic planning is relevant, it is focused on the teeth that affect the plan.
Teeth are often positioned before final restorations are made, since the reverse may limit what can be done.
Each tooth depends on those around it and above or below it. Change one position and several things can follow, so the examination considers the arrangement as a whole.
Changes may develop slowly enough that you do not notice them, and they often come to light only when treatment is being planned.
Several routes can be considered, and these are often combined. The right mix depends on your teeth, your gums and what you want.
Orthodontic movement requires healthy support, so gum and bone findings affect this choice. Ask how orthodontic care would be arranged, should it be suggested.
The place of orthodontic planning in a sequence depends on the case, but other work usually has to come before it. Here is one general way that the stages can line up.
Request your visitScans, models, photographs and bite analysis help show current positions and the way jaws and teeth come together.
Pain and infection are handled first, and decay and gum disease are brought under control so that teeth have a healthier base.
You and the dentist look at whether repositioning would make the restorations simpler, and what else could be done instead.
Definitive treatment is completed in stages. Teeth and tissues may be reassessed as the bite responds to what came earlier.
Change is hard to see from day to day, and old photos can reveal it more clearly. If you have had braces or lost teeth in the past, that information may also be useful.
Any retainer you still have is worth bringing along. Let the clinic know if it no longer fits or if you stopped wearing it.

It can be frustrating to hear that teeth may need to move before the work you came for can start. Asking what that step would make possible, and what would happen without it, helps you weigh it fairly.
Orthodontic stages can extend a plan, so ask how this one would alter your timeline.
If you are concerned about how you would appear during treatment, mention it at the start.
Find out whether any other route could work, and what compromises each one would bring.
Keeping things where they belong
Teeth do not automatically stay put, which makes monitoring useful. Ask what the plan is for keeping your bite stable once the work is complete.
If teeth have been moved, ask whether you would need a retainer or another appliance.
Ask how long a planned replacement can wait, because an empty space may allow further drift.
Hygiene care and home tools are still needed, and some areas may become easier to clean than before.

Ask our teamPosition can determine how much room is available for a restoration, and how it will meet the opposing teeth. Selected movement may simplify later work where that applies.
No. Orthodontic planning is only one possible element. Many combinations of care do not involve moving teeth, so ask whether it applies and why.
Only an examination can tell you. Depending on the room available and the state of the teeth beside it, there may be several options, so ask the dentist to go through them.
Gum and bone concerns are generally addressed first, since teeth need a healthy foundation. Whether movement is suitable after that is decided through your assessment.
Orthodontics is among the stages that can extend care across many months or longer. Your own estimate depends on what is being moved, and it may change along the way.
