How can i get rid of the gaps in my teeth?
Patient: Hello, I am currently using Orthofill bands that are used to close the gaps in my teeth. My gap is completely closed with the band on, but whenever I take the band off the gap slowly comes back. Is there any way that I can keep my gap closed, so that I can finally stop wearing the bands? Doctor: Hi! Welcome to Healthcaremagic.I read your query. Orthofill bands have good reviews regarding closing gap between teeth. However, it does not rectify the underlying condition of mal occlusion of teeth.I suggest you visit an orthodontist and get your dentition checked. You may be required to get x-rays done. After studying your x-rays and dental casts, a treatment plan will be made which may require removal of one or more teeth to make space and then proper teeth allignment with braces.Even after that, retainers are put on lingual side of teeth to prevent relapse.So even after orthofill, You need to wear retainer.Best is to consult an orthodontist.Hope the answer helps you. Thank you!
