Tooth Drifting

With all the teeth present, there is stability. Teeth are not actually rigid in the mouth, but stay in place due to a complex series of pressure contacts and eruption forces.

Full mouth of healthy teeth.

Missing lower molar

One molar is lost due to trauma or decay.

Missing tooth disrupts bite pressure and contacts

Adjacent teeth can be pushed toward the empty space.

Continued pressure and forces on the tooth

This creates drifting, poor contact and periodontal problems/inflammation around the moving tooth.
