i have braces. prior to having them i had a gap. my teeth are closing as well as expected but through these last tightenings i have been noticing that the gum between my 2 front teeth are getting squeezed and it is elongating as well. i don t have an abnormal frenum that would need to be surgically removed but at the same time i don t see how this gap is going to close without the skin between my incisors being either clipped or pushed back.
Hello there, Thanks for writing your query, After reading your history I suspect there is entrapment of the gingival tissue that is incisive papillae in between your upper front teeth. This might be overhanging as a tissue overgrowth on the palatal side of the teeth. Nothing to worry about, consult a dentist and get the examination done, the gingival over growth can be excised surgically ANF the gingival can be reshaped. After excision antibiotic and analgesic coverage is must prevent infection of the site and to promote healing. I hope this helps, take care.
