I'm getting my braces off?!


Question: I'm getting my braces off?
I'm getting my braces off but I still have a lil gap on the top of my two front teeth. The orthodontist said it was like that because of the shape of my teeth. I am gonna ask the dentist not the orthodontist if he can fix that. What can the dentist do to fix that lil gap? It's really bugging me.

Answers:

Absolutely a dentist can !
but the small triangular space is a normal thing .. its called as an embrasure ! if it is closed , it will traumatize the interdental papilla - thats the gums between 2 teeth ,,

if u're still not convinced / annoyed then as a dentist to close it uptill the safest limit with COMPOSITES !



Viraj is right!

And just a fyi WEAR THE RETAINERS they give you..if you don't that gap you don't like will get bigger and your other teeth will shift as well.

Congrats on the new smile :D
