I am a 22 yr old girl. i have braces and it was used to bring my Upper set of teeth forward but the lower set of teeth has not been brought forward. there is approximately a .5 cm gap between my lower incisors and upper incisors. the doctor says that he ll let the gap remain and is planning on removing my braces. is this much of a gap between lower and upper incisors correct?
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, As you have mentioned that you are having 5 cm gap between your upper and lower teeth I would suggest you to consult the Orthodontist before removal of the braces. Placement of the retainer after removal of the braces is necessary to avoid the relapse of the treatment, I would advise you to follow the instructions given by the Orthodontist properly. Maintain a very good oral hygiene during the treatment. Hope this helps out. Regards...
