After a deband, is it possible to have a gap between last bicuspid and first molar?

Q.
Is it possible to have a gap in between last bicuspid and 1st molar after a deband ? I’m experiencing this problem and not sure if my ortho dontist will be willing to do anything for me to fix it . I need help and some suggestions please.
A.
Yes it can sometimes happen. Quite often after the bands have been removed any small residual space can close up quite quickly as the bite settles in. If it remains a problem either go back to the orthodontist or ask your dentist to have a look to what he/she can do. Spaces can also be closed with fillings or dental bonding techniques amongst other ways…
