Gaps between my teeth after removal of my braces

[Gina1]

Hello

I had train track braces for almost two years and they were removed about a month ago. The orthodontist said that this is the best result that is possible with my teeth.

However I have gaps between some of my front teeth which really bother me because I am always worried that these gaps show when I smile or when I am speaking to people. I have to say that I use to have much bigger gaps between my teeth and these gaps are a lot smaller that before, however I was hoping that all of the gaps would have gone after two years of brace treatment.

I would like to know if you think, you can close these gaps with Invisalign or if you have any other ideas on how to close these gaps. I don't wish to have veneers because I don't want to have my teeth shaved down for veneers.

Thank you for your question.

If you have had orthodontic treatment for 2 years and still have gaps between your teeth, its possible that you have a jaw size/tooth size discrepancy.

One possible solution could be to have composite bonding. Composite bonding is reversible and discreet and could close the gaps between your teeth quickly. Lumineers may also work well if you have gaps between your teeth.
