Neighboring or opposing teeth shift, tilt, or grow into empty spaces, risking further loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bite &amp; Gum Issues:<\/strong> Shifting teeth can cause bite problems, plaque buildup, and periodontitis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aesthetic Impact:<\/strong> Especially for front teeth, gaps affect speech clarity, smile appearance, and confidence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr
