Braces?!?! making teeth worse?!
Question: I don't understand... I have had braces since December 8th, which isn't a long time, but my teeth have gotten much worse. In fact, I have two gaps right now that were not there before. My two front teeth are going apart, and so are the teeth next to them. What the heck? Is this normal or what?

You have only had the braces on a very short time. I'm sure the office where you are being treated knows what they are doing. Orthodontics is done in stages. The first stage in orthodontics is to level and align the teeth and correct rotations. Spacing in the teeth is not addressed till much later. They should have explained to you that it may look worse to you before it looks better. That sometimes happens while the teeth are being repositioned for all the them to fit.
see your orthordontist...also check with another orthordontist he could not be a profesional make sure everythings ok...i had braces and i had a smal lgap and it didnt get bigger so check with him...you may even need elastics. good luck
Don't worry about this... my braces came out a few months ago and some times my teeth made gaps as well. With your next visit they will 'reverse' the procedure by pulling your teeth closer to each other. They will fix it, really nothing to worry about! Trust me.
yeh that happened to my friend, your otho might then use a chain sort of elastic thingo after and tighten them together to give you that nice smile and shape
I have the same thing but only on my front two teeth. I think this is normal, also my ortho has told me about this gap. so dont worry. Also they werent there 7 months ago.
Dont worry
:D
