Change in the bite is due to drifting of the teeth gradually.
You are not able to chew bcoz of the missing teeth. Please replace the miss teeth as soon as u can before the teeth drift further and space is closed. You can take an appointment with us through Practo. Happy to help.

You need to get the missing tooth replaced...because the adjacent teeth and opposing teeth tend to migrate and shift to close tht space..therfore get the tooth replaced by an implant or bridge ..
