I have a small gap inbetween my upper left lateral and canine that I really want to get rid of, and I'm supposed to be getting impressions on Friday for a retainer! I don't think the elastics that I'm supposed to be wearing are going to close it by themselves, should I just get it bonded after my braces are removed?
I have the same situation and was told by my ortho that since I have a 'peg lateral', that bonding is the best way to take care of the gap. A peg lateral is one that's narrower than usual
