“Can you get braces with missing teeth?”
My 13 year old son is still missing a tooth. Can you get braces with missing teeth?

yes
Missing teeth are common and braces help close or open space for replacement if needed, same goes for extra teeth which are usually removed so a proper bite can be achieved.
You can absolutely get braces with missing teeth.
Yes. In fact, braces can help maintain the space of the missing tooth so that your son can get a dental implant in the future. Alternatively, an orthodontist may close the space in order to avoid an implant in the future.
