Bob,
I had four teeth pulled when I was in the fourth grade. Two first teeth and two second teeth, between the front teeth and the eye teeth on both sides. After braces were done with the dentist made this "flipper" out of plastic with the two teeth on it I was missing. It broke and needed to be repiared several times a year. Finally after getting new ones made by a buddy of mine I just gave up for a year and a half a while ago and didn't wear any plate. Never smiled or opened my big mouth much either. Finally went to dentist and asked him what I could do. Didn't know Altus paid for half, which was awesome. Now I have a metal/wire bridge work that snapps in and out like its nothing. Takes a couple of days to get uesed to. I know you know what am talking about. I am sure you've seen people with the wire around thier front teeth holding a bridge in. It looks natural and feels great. It is the adult version of the "flipper" I wore for years. Wish I spent the money years ago.
