Can't my braces close this space? Shouldn't teeth be perfect after braces??!


Question:

Can't my braces close this space? Shouldn't teeth be perfect after braces??

Look at this pic http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/3291/... the assistant told me that because the teeth touch at the bottom the space can't be closed. I have the same space on the other side. I'm thinking about seeing another orthodontist and see what they say. I'm really mad cuz I want my teeth to be perfect when my braces come off after all it cost me 6 grand!!


Answers:

I also had the same problem after braces. I went to several dentists and they all told me the same. Either I didn't wear my retainers enough or sometimes braces cannot cover tiny gaps like that. So I had veneers or had them put composite on it to fill in the gaps. The dentists said it shouldn't get any wider than that. One of the dentists herself had the same thing on the middle of her front tooth and along the bottom. I wish someone had told me that. =T I was kinda bummed also but I notice it more than others. Still, I just got the composite anyway. Good luck!
