\u2013 The tooth in front of the missing tooth shifts backward > food gets trapped in the gap between the teeth that are moving apart, leading to tooth decay, gum recession, and periodontal disease. Over the course of several years, the contact point system can become so loose\u2014even from the loss of just one tooth\u2014that gaps open up between the teeth on the opposite side as well.<\/span><\/p>

\u2013 The teeth behind the gap tilt forward. As they press against the gums, a gum pocket\u2014and almost always a bone pocket\u2014forms in front of them.<\/span><\/p>

\u2013 The tooth opposite the missing tooth protrudes and grows out of the bone > which also causes systemic loosening at the contact points. It continues to grow until we prevent this with a dental prosthesis. In rare cases, the bone grows along with the tooth, altering the shape of the bone.<\/span><\/p>

\u2013 The back molars ensure the ideal distance between the upper and lower jaws. If several are missing\u2014or if even a single missing tooth causes the last 1\u20132 molars to tilt forward\u2014they can no longer maintain the proper distance between the two jaws, which move closer together due to the pulling force of the chewing muscles. The muscle shortens, and this condition becomes permanent over time. This often causes spasmodic nighttime clenching and teeth grinding\u2026 which, in a vicious cycle, further accelerates the convergence of the jawbones, exacerbating bruxism. As a result, the cartilage disc in the temporomandibular joint\u2014similar to that in the spine\u2014thins, develops holes, pops out (clicking jaw!), or is absorbed.<\/span><\/p>

\u2013 Bones and muscles form a finely tuned, active skeletal structure: changes in muscle strength, movements, and lever arms result in bone remodeling in the face. Irreversible jaw deformities develop over the years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u2013 Due to missing teeth, the remaining teeth must not only cope with their original chewing force but also with the significantly increased chewing load caused by bruxism: the remaining teeth begin to wear down rapidly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u2013 As a result of these forces, the lower front teeth are pushed in, while the upper ones are often knocked out. A deep bite develops or worsens\u2014the two bones now come closer together even in the front section.<\/span><\/p>

\u2013 Abnormalities in the masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joint can affect the function of muscles farther away from the masticatory system > and may cause neck, shoulder, and back pain, as well as migraines.<\/span><\/p>

\u2013 There is never any empty space in the mouth. The gaps left by missing teeth are filled\u2014they grow into them\u2014by the tongue, the floor of the mouth, the cheeks\u2026 and the face becomes sunken.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

These changes almost always begin immediately in everyone. \nThe more neglected a missing tooth is, and the later it is replaced with an implant, the more impossible it becomes to restore the original condition\u2026 and in some cases, it may never be possible.\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
