Q. i wore braces years ago to straighten and close the large gap between my two front teeth. my teeth stayed straight but my gap ahs re-opened. i decided to have two larger veneers fitted to close the gap- the gap has since got bigger- leaving me with a 3mm gap. what treatment would u suggest for correcting this problem of the gap?? thankyou regards 

A. You’ll need a brace again probably then some form of permanent retainer such as a bonded retainer to stopp the gap opening again.  Regards Andrew
