Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I lost one of my front teeth in an accident when I was 11, and due to some complications, I did not get a replacement tooth for it. So I grew up with a gap in the front part of my mouth. As I grew up, the gap started to slowly disappear. The teeth on the left and right sides of the gap closed the gap, which made the front part of my teeth not perfectly centered anymore. I am 24 years old now, and I want to fix my appearance. My question is, is there a way to reopen the gap so that I can add a replacement or fake tooth in the gap? I want to make my front teeth perfectly centered again. Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your query. Yes, you can go for an orthodontic treatment and your teeth will be settled as you want them. Look for an orthodontist, get an appointment, and you will surely get all your satisfactory answers there. You may even go to two or three orthodontists before finalizing your decision as to which one is the best for you. As orthodontic treatment takes time so your patience will play a vital role all the while. I hope my answer was helpful to you. Do revert back for more information and details. Thanks and take care.
