Hi there!
I am going in for what I think may be my last adjustment on June 14th. My ortho will be filing a few teeth that have miniscule gaps to close up, I'm talking real small.
Has anybody out there gone through this process? If so, how long does it normally take for the tiny gaps to close up?
Final step??

Nick,
I would say it all depends on how fast your teeth move. Everyone is different. I had my lower fronts filed for some crowding issues and it took several months before mine were "ready". I wore a powerchain on top for over a year and one of my gaps never completely closed. Best to check with your ortho on this one. He/she probably won't have a difinitive answer either. Teeth are funny...they do their own thing at their own pace!![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
