When lost teeth are not replaced, other teeth are used to do the work of the missing tooth (or teeth). This may cause a change in your bite, increase stress on the jaw joint, or cause the remaining teeth to shift or drift, (further complicating your problem). These changes do not occur right away, but happens slowly over time. Your face may change in the appearance and wrinkles may occur when teeth are not properly replaced.
