Most space closure occurs within the first how many months after tooth loss?

3 months
6 months
9 months
12 months

The correct answer is: 6 months

After tooth loss, the surrounding teeth will naturally shift towards the empty space in an effort to close the gap. This process is known as "space closure" and typically occurs within the first 6 months after a tooth is lost. Options A, C, and D all fall outside of this time frame, making them incorrect. It is important to address missing teeth as soon as possible to prevent further shifting and potential bite issues.
