Missing teeth is the absence of a tooth or teeth that should normally be present. This can be caused by trauma or lack of development.
This problem should be corrected because it can:
cause improper functioning of teeth
cause premature wear of teeth
cause asymmetric alignment of the teeth
make your smile less attractive

Depending upon the situation, the space can be closed with braces or opened for tooth replacement. A bridge or dental implant are restorative options if a space is created.
