Will braces help close the gaps in my teeth?!
Question: I went to one orthodontist and they told me that braces wouldn't close the gaps in my teeth because I'm missing two teeth. I was told that braces would only make the gaps smaller and that I would have to get fake teeth put in. I don't want to do that and it's too expensive. Can I get another orthodontists opinion who might say something else? I just want to get braces that can close the gaps in my teeth, that's all!

You can't move all of your teeth so much that they take the place of other teeth. Besides, if you do this, your teeth will look pretty odd! There are less expensive options for fake teeth - you should see a cosmetic dentist. Your braces would cost WAY more than fake teeth.
That's kinda what they're made for!
my friend had a huge gap in the her two front teeth and in 1 day the gap was basically gone.
