I’m Filming A TV Show. If I Have The Top Brace Taken Off, Is That Going To Cause Me Any Problems?

Q.
Hi there,

I’ve had braces since August and I am filming a TV show in America which requires me to have the top brace taken off as it’s very visible with my smile. At the moment I only have it on to close the gaps between my molars where one tooth on each side was removed to create space. The gap is just large enough for me to fit the end of my tongue in. If I have the top brace taken off is that going to cause any problems? I personally don’t care about the gaps as they’re totally invisible. My front teeth are now all straight but it’s just the small gaps they’re trying to close. What do you think?

Thank you.

Hi. You should ask your orthodontist as it may be a problem, especially if you have a brace on the opposite jaw. There are other solutions to closing gaps and you could also maybe have a temporary removable retainer and go back to the braces after the filming? I hope this offers a reasonable solution. Kind regards, Mark.
