Can two lower central incisors fit into a space enough for only one?

Q. I have a tooth gap caused by missing two lower central incisors. then my dentist discussed with me that the solution with the problem is to enlarge the gap more enough to fit a fixed bridge so he had to put braces on my teeth. its been 10 months now, and the gap’s size now is like enough for one central incisor. but he said its enough space to place already the fixed bridge. im wondering how could 2 lower central incisors fit onto a space enough for only one? can you help me, am i on the right track here? thanks…

A. Hi. many thanks for your email, if you are unsure what the final aesthetic outcome is you could ask your dentist to produce a diagnostic waxup which is a model of your mouth with the final bridge waxed up in the gap area so you can see how it will look before you commit to having the bridge placed.
