Dentists please answer?

I have a small gap in front of my teeth..and i was wondering if it will come together. I am 14 years old and my family members dont have many gaps. Most of all my adult teeth have grown in.

This will space will not close together now. All your adult teeth have erupted and looking at your picture , you have a low attachment of your frenum (connects your gums to your lips) This can prevent the teeth coming together. The treatment options are:


1) Have bonding (white fillings) placed between your teeth to disguise the gap


2) Surgery to move the frenum upwards then braces for a short while to finally bring the teeth together


The decision is yours!
Reply:it can be corrected by braces
Reply:At your young age there is a very good chance that this will close up in a year or two but if your family [mom and/or dad especially] has this it probably isn't going to close . From the picture it also looks like you might have a low frenum attachment which goes between your teeth. If this is the case then the teeth won't close. The frenum is that little web thing that is attached to your lip between your two front teeth. This is part of a muscle and if it does go between your teeth it needs to be clipped out so that the teeth can close. If the teeth don't close, then your choice is either braces or bonding. The bonding is adding a tooth colored (will match your teeth) composite material to the sides of each of your teeth. This will not be noticeable to anyone but you and your dentist. You don't even have to be numbed up for it and it's WAY cheaper than braces. Good luck!
Reply:this is probably because you could have put toys or straws between your teeth and now you have made a gap between your teeth
Reply:it could havr been b/c you put stuff between your teeth!!!
Reply:Braces only. As you get older it could get wider.
