How can wisdom tooth be moved forward to replace a missing molar?
Orthodontics are the only way to move a tooth. Usually braces, sometimes with a fixed or removable appliance. You would need to consult your dentist and likely an orthodontist to determine how long it would take and the various factors involved for successful treatment.





Your other options are to have a bridge put in... but if your wisdom tooth and the tooth in front of the missing tooth are both virgin teeth (yeah yeah... I mean no fillings) then you may not want to crown them to create the bridge.





The best option to replace a single missing tooth is an implant. The are factors that will determine if you are a candidate (position, spacing, quantity of bone in the area) so again, you'd need to consult your dentist.





Any of the above three are pricey options so check with your insurance as to what is or isn't covered.

Addendum:


The poster below brought up a very good point. Left without treatment the wisdom tooth will naturally begin to drift forward and will provide you will a sufficient chewing surface. Basically, that's why mother nature gave you wisdom teeth, as a back up plan for lost teeth.





Unfortunately, that drift is also often a tilt. It starts to tilt forward as it moves. So if you sincerely want to replace the tooth you will need to do so before the tooth tilts too far. Too much tilt limits the available options for replacement for clinical/functional reasons.
Reply:I think discovery channel.com is good or monster quest.
Reply:I was told by my dentist that if you get the tooth in front of your wisdom tooth removed, it will move forward itself a bit, but not a great deal. Im in the same situation, i need the tooth in front removed and my wisdom is partially out - weather its only gonna move forward for me beacuse its partially out, im not sure. Check with your dentist or perhaps do some research on dentistry on the web, you may uncover something
