Well I also lost my four front teeth from something called root absortion. Essentially my pointy teeth came in at an angle and took away the root of my 4 front teeth and I had them pulled out. I have a partial now that covers it up. I'm in the military and they pay for implants but since my mouth is so fucked up its a whole 2 year process where they have to break my jaw and realign everything. Also have to get a hip bone transplant for my upper jaw. So I decided not to do it. I told the doctor about my stutter and he said the restructuring of my jaw could actually help with stuttering. He wasn't sure tho.
