“Can you get braces for just two teeth?”
I am an 18 year old male. I want to know if you can get braces for just two teeth?

Hi, If you are concerned about just two teeth and would like to move them we generally place braces on an entire arch to use the other teeth as anchorage to move those teeth into the ideal position. We are also concerned with symmetry, smile design/esthetics, chewing function, and stability. It is best to go to an office for a consultation to see how orthodontic treament can improve your smile and overall dental health. Hope this helps. Dr. B
No, you cannot, it won't work. You will need braces on multiple teeth to move them. It's a system.
The best person to ask would be an orthodontist in your area. They will almost always provide a free first consultation. Normally, they are very comprehensive and will want to check your bite and all of your teeth and they will likely recommended a treatment plan that will correct all of your teeth.

You could, but it wouldn't work so well...
In order to move the teeth, you need (or the orthodontist does) an anchor with which to push, pull and rotate those 2 teeth. Next to impossible to do with just 2 teeth...

Usually all the teeth are connected so when you want to straighten 2 teeth you have to straighten the rest.
