Failure to wear your retainer and other dental issues can cause your teeth to shift and gaps to appear between them, even after a braces treatment. Typical post-braces care requires you to wear a custom-fitted retainer in order to keep your teeth from shifting out of alignment. But how do you fix gaps in teeth after braces? Depending on your specific needs and overall dental health, the following options could be right for you.

Instead of having to incur any health issues she decided to use Invisalign and experience these results nine months into her treatment. This was causing wear to her teeth as well as digestion issues.

Her treatment took 20 months with Invisalign treatment. This is really more of a cosmetic issue but it can cause some issues with oral health. In this example, we can see a 38-year-old female who had upper teeth that completely overlapped her lower teeth. On the left is before and the right shows after. These results took just 10 months of treatment. We can see from the after results that Invisalign correctly positioned her teeth greatly improving her chances of incurring any issues with oral health. Overly crowded teeth like these can cause serious dental decay and oral health issues but with the help of a treatment such as Invisalign patients can experience straight teeth that fall within normal functions and incur less of a risk of these issues. Her jaw line simply did not have enough space for all of her teeth to fit completely normally. In this example, we can see the front teeth of a 26-year-old female who is experiencing an issue with overcrowding. Then you’ll be smiling like you never have before!
