Yes, it can result in mesial drift

","comment":{"@type":"Comment","text":"When studying tooth movement, remember that mesial drift is a gradual process influenced by wear, tooth loss, and occlusion."},"answerExplanation":{"@type":"comment","text":"Interproximal wear can lead to mesial drift, where the teeth shift toward the midline of the dental arch. This is commonly observed as teeth naturally move in response to wear, loss of proximal contacts, or occlusal forces. Mesial drift is a normal physiological process in the dentition."}}}]}

Does interproximal wear result in mesial drift?
