How long depends on lots of things, but 2 years is average. Althought if a gap is the only thing that needs "fixed", it will probably be much shorter. You could also possibly have the gap fixed with tooth colored filling at a regular dentist. You should have a consult with both an orthodontist and a regular dentist to find out cost and their opinions before you make your decision.
Yes, thankfully there is an alternative. Teeth Gap "www.teethgap.com" sells a product called Teeth Effect bands for $16.95. This is a great solution to a common problem. Worked for me.
You can't really fix this kind of problem because whats usually causing the gap is frenem on your gums. So to get rid of your gap entirely you need to get a quick surgery on getting that web clipped off. And then getting braces or somthing like that to do the rest.
as long as you don't eat anything hard, then yes! watch that you don't eat anything which could stain your teeth too
Why would you want braces?
depends on your teeth
No, but the teeth will start to overlap.
As long as you brush your teeth while you have your braces, there will be no marks. I had no marks on my teeth when my braces were removed. Another student in my school, however, never brushed her teeth and when her braces were removed she actually had brown bands on her teeth. ~ T
Until you have all your adult teeth
you don't, it can harm the filament in the left side of the upper braces
It depends on the teeth. If it is very crooked then it would be long.
Having braces with a gap wont take a long time, But If you dont want to pay for braces just for a gap , there is something else called orthofill. its just a thick rubberband that you put around your front teeth and its gone in less than 2 months. but make sure you keep in touch with your dentist to see if your teeth arent weak, or it could cause damage.
Of course you can! You're talking about the flavored juice drink that comes in pouches right? Yes. You can drink virtually anything with braces, as long as you brush your teeth properly 3 times a day.
about 3 yers and they put powerchins on to fix it
Each set of braces will be worn for two weeks. How many times you need to switch will depend on how badly your teeth are aligned to start with. How long you wear braces depends on the amount of work you need to get your teeth strightened. This is something that your dentist or orthdontist can answer for you.
