How much will your front teeth separate if a back tooth is pulled?

Question: I had 2 right upper back teeth pulled and now I have noticed my front teeth separating. Will they slide apart the full length of my missing teeth or will it stop at a certain point?

Answers:
They may keep sliding
I would see the dentist and maybe get a retainer or something

Other Answers:
Difficult question to answer. When teeth are pulled, the other teeth shift to a new position. The amount of shift depends on the space left in the arch. Remember, all the teeth will shift, not only the incisors, so the final positon is difficult to predict.

The Mother Nature tends to compensate all spaces in your mouth, so as long as you don't put any prosthesis in your mouth in those rear spaces, the frontal teeth will tend to get separated.how much? we don't know exactly, but they will do it.
