Metal Mouth Message Board

hello every1 im back! im happy that my gap is closing but im having a issue with my gums btwn my teeth. The gums are starting to overlap my teeth the the ortho said i cant get a frenectomy until ITS FULLY CLOSED GRRRRRRR....on a brigther note it should be closed by next month hopefully b/c the space is almost gone. But as for now the gums hurt and bleed when i brush and is soooo annoying to look at. But overall im still pleased with the overall closing....heres some pics of my progress.................

Hope this solves your image picture issue. You don't need all the other information as it's HTML based and HTML isn't allowed here on the forums.

ok sorry i posted the pics wrong ...ok here they go (hopefully)

Lynn there is no edit so I can't delete my post. I was trying to help out closingmygap by posting her photos for her. So if you would like can you delete the post.

Thanks

thanks i just fixed it as well!

Wow, it really does look uncomfortable. In my case, I was able to get a frenectomy before my gap fully closed. In fact, my ortho said my gap wouldn't close unless I had the procedure. That said, I really didn't have the amount of gum tissue you have between your incisors. Also, my gap is still not completely closed three months post frenectomy :( I'm worried that the scar tissue might be preventing it from closing. :( :(
