gaps, plural

#16 Post by paw655 »

The ever increasing gaps are one of the reasons I have to get braces again as an adult. I glanced at the ortho's notes and I think the largest gap is
6 mm, which may not sound big, but there is plenty of room in that gap for everything I eat to settle down in there.

At this point, the gap in the front is around 1-2 mm, which is why I want to get this braces stuff underway. I'm glad you like your gaps, but I don't. Make sure you and your ortho (and parents, if they are paying) are all on board about what the plan is for the gaps and the rest of treatment.

I have gaps between the top 4 of my teeth but mostly between my two front teeth. I've been made fun of A LOT for my gap and it has really brought my spirits down. My ortho says that I should only need braces for 16 months and I should be able to see the gaps getting smaller within a few months. I hope he's right...
Awww R&R *hugs*

Dont let them get you down.

I say fix it if you're unhappy with it. Always keep in mind that you've only got one life to live, NEVER let negative people get to you.

Good luck and let us know what happens!!! :)
