When a tooth is gone, its neighbours may have shifted, and you may wonder what comes first. Stony Mountain residents can use this page to frame that conversation with a dentist.
Let's find a time
A gap can be a problem for two different reasons. You might want the space filled, while the teeth beside it could be leaning or out of line. Aligners address position, and an implant or bridge replaces what’s missing, so a thoughtful plan considers the order of these things.
Stony Mountain is outside the City of Winnipeg, so you’d travel in to our McPhillips Street clinic to explore this. An assessment there would look at your teeth, roots and bite together, and that’s the place to ask how any replacement would fit in.

It’s worth asking about what would come first, and why, before any part of your plan begins.
Their positions and roots are studied, since they help determine what can reasonably be done.
Say which teeth are gone, including back teeth you rarely think about, and roughly when.
It helps to keep these separate in your mind. Moving the teeth you have is one job, and replacing a tooth you’ve lost is another.
Depending on your case, selected teeth may be repositioned to tidy up alignment or adjust the room available. Suitability is something only your dentist can determine.
A tray can’t provide a new tooth. It also might not be the most predictable tool for every leaning or rotated tooth, and that needs a candid conversation.
An existing bridge, implant or partial denture is important information. Tell the dentist about any of these, since they can affect what’s planned around them.
The four aligner stages don’t change, but your gap gives you specific questions to ask at every step along the way.
Request your visitThe dentist examines your teeth, gums, bite and jaws, and reviews photographs and fitting X-rays. Ask how the empty space has affected what’s around it.
Each tooth’s route is mapped, including how room is managed. Ask to see what the proposed plan would do to the gap, and remember it’s a proposal.
Aligner fit is checked, and you’re shown how to handle and clean them. Find out what any attachments would be doing for the teeth beside your gap.
Actual movement is held against your sequence. These checks are a natural time to ask how things look for your eventual replacement.
Since you’re coming into the city, it pays to have your thoughts in order. You’ll also want to find out how many visits to expect if a replacement becomes part of this.
If another office has recommended a replacement, say so. Knowing what you’ve already been told helps the dentist answer you directly.

Missing teeth can be a sensitive topic, and people sometimes put off asking for years. There’s no need to explain how the tooth was lost if you’d rather not go into detail right away.
If the gap’s look during treatment concerns you, raise that question early so it’s part of the plan.
If you wear a removable replacement tooth, ask directly how it would work with aligners.
You can leave with your options explained and take as long as you need to consider them.
After the final tray
Once active movement stops, teeth need to be held in place, and a replacement may still be on your list. Ask how these two things connect in your plan.
If a bridge or implant has been discussed, ask how and when that treatment would follow your aligners.
Worn as prescribed, they help limit further shifting while tissues adapt, including around any space you’re saving.
If movement falls short of the plan, new records can be used to order more trays before anything else proceeds.
Ask how your retainer would need to change if a new tooth is added later on, as it has to fit what’s in your mouth.

Helpful details about invisalign in Stony Mountain.
Ask our teamThat depends on the space and on your bite and roots, and aligners may or may not be the right tool. Ask the dentist to explain the options after your exam.
Sometimes sequence matters, so ask this at your assessment. The dentist can discuss whether moving teeth first makes sense for you.
Teeth that have shifted can sometimes be repositioned, though not every movement is equally predictable with trays. An examination will reveal more.
Ask how the space would be handled while you’re in treatment. Your plan and the location of the missing tooth both affect the answer.
Teeth joined by a bridge can’t be moved like separate ones, so let the dentist know. They’ll explain what your existing work means for the plan.
