Gaps after 12 years of orthodontic
Hi doctor
I'm 32 yr female, had orthodontic treatment 12 years ago. I had second baby delivery 4 months back. After this delivery I'm noticing small gaps in my teeth between 4-5 upper teeth, though I had permanent retainers placed over the back of my teeth. Pls tell me what should I do, which treatment can be cured at this stage

Hii.. Small gaps between teeth are most likely because of Relapse... It happens sometimes after ortho ..Though you have lingual retainers , it shouldn't have happened...Aligners are the best option this type of cases. U should take the video consultation & then I can suggest you the suitable option for the same.

Small gaps between teeth may be due to relapse and gingival recession due to age changes. Please visit your dentist, get your teeth cleaned, braces or retainers can correct gaps.
