Until you get invisalign, you can close a gap (especially if its a gap between your two front teeth) pretty easily. In a bout a week or so.
just use women's hairbands.

You'll still need to get invisalign to have your teeth aligned, but you wont have a gap.

Problem:beli:The rest of my teeth will gain some uncanny space. Be ouchere looking like a black bugs bunny. And my slight overbite means that method is a recipe for disaster.

I whiten every week. :sas2:

You could do that too if you had invisalign :sas1:


Why did you opt for braces? Was it the better option for you?:jbhmm:

Yea, I had to have an appliance installed on the roof of my mouth to train my tongue to swallow correctly. That, and regular braces will do a better job of fixing the open bite I have.

You get your teeth professionally whitened every week?:dahell:

Nah as a dentist I don't think you should disseminate this information. Leave the bands to the professionals

Nah I whiten at home. My insurance only covers 8 professional whitenings a year.

I had braces when I was younger so my teeth were really straight.
Then I lost my retainer for about 10 years and overtime I started to get a gap in my 2 front teeth.

There's some muscle in your gums that naturally pushes your 2 front teeth apart, I forgot what its called but its also part of why gap teeth can be hereditary. @Sugarbush can probably speak more on this.

So basically I spent 5.5k just to fix a gap instead of getting the surgery to cut that muscle :wow:

Periodontal ligaments hold your teeth to bone. A retainer prevents your teeth from shifting back to their original position after you remove your braces.

Sounds like you're referring to the labial frenulum
:ohhh:Aiight, I know what to do, cause this gap ain't cute. I didn't mind it when I was young, but I want my shyt right soon.
