Can i get dental implants?
You can't have implants until at least 18yo. If you think implants are easier than braces, think again. Chances are that you would still need braces BEFORE implants anyway, assuming you could find a dentist crazy enough to take out your perfectly good canines.
Reply:implants will cost more than braces


why?


bc implants you gotta go through a surgical procedure


since your only 13


id recommend getting braces


and also listen to what your dentist tells you to do
Reply:Yes but they are expensive.
Reply:If you want to get an implant, first you have the tooth pulled out. I'm not sure if a dentist would do this if the tooth is healthy as you seem to imply it is. Anyway, assuming a dentist would, then you have to wait for the hole to close up and new bone to grow on the jawbone. This takes about 4-6 months. Then, a screwtype device is inserted in the jawbone. This is topped with a platform which receives a crown on it. Lots and lots of work! The cost in Illinois to do this is approximatley $2500/tooth.
