Q. Hello, I would like to close my gap in my front teeth and i have herd that Teeth Effect Bands could solve my problem. I have researched it and some people say it works and others are worrying about the care of the teeth roots. I am 15 and my gap is around 3-5mm. I asked my dentist if it would close up in the years as i grow but she just said its very likely that it wont close up. I hate my smile and cant smile straight for pictures. My mum said we cant pay forbraces, do you know any other treatments, or will the band treatment work?,
