Gap inbetween teeth
I was wearig fixed braces for 2 years and after that doctor prescribed removable braces for retention.I am doing masters degree so wenever I used to put retention braces I couldnt speak well. I avoided.Now there appeared gap in between teeth of two sides of jaws. Whenever I use to laugh hard, gap is visible. Is there any suggestion to treat this? I have still old retention braces. Shall I continue with that? Will it work? How long it ll take? Or again I have to continue with ortho treatment of wearing fixed braces?

After the completion of the ortho treatment, its equally important to wear your retainers without fail.If the retainers were not worn regularly , there is bound to be a certain amount of relapse.
You can visit your nearest Dental centre and see what treatment fits best.
Next Steps
If the gaps are really wide , then you might visit a orthodontist.
Alternatively if they are little, you can go for tooth colored fillings too.
