Teeth Gaps
I have crowding at wisdom teeth sides and a gap between Center teeth and the teeth next to that. Did wear braces nd have permanent retainer but now the gap is again visible. It's over 5 yrs that I have worn braces. Is there a fix for this gap? If yes how much would it cost?

Dear practo user
The gap needs closure again by orthodontist and wearing fixed retainer to prevent relapse that might cost between 3000 and 5000

Hello,
Gap between your front teeth could be due to few reasons. Check whether your permanent retainer is in place or not. Check whether your tongue is pushing your front teeth while swallowing.
Next Steps
take a followup visit with your orthodontist.
Health Tips
if tongue is pushing your front teeth, then train your tongue to keep it over palate area while swallowing.
