Hi, While there are times that you can straighten a few teeth, it is not typical. Molar uprighting is an example of a case in which you only need to straighten a few teeth. In the case of molar uprighting the second molar tilts forward into the space of the first molar which was extracted and the second molar needs to be uprighted so that a bridge can be made to replace the missing first molar. Or, the second molar is uprighted so that an implant can be placed and have the resulting implant crown fabricated with normal first molar anatomy. I hope this was helpful. Sincerely, Dr. Druckman
You can straighten some teeth and get braces on just few teeth depending on the position of each teeth, the space available and your bite and occlusion, your dentist can determine that, usually limited Orthodontics is mostly done on up righting a molars due to shifted teeth as the result of extraction.
