It sounds like the dentist was referring to the attachment of what we call the ‘frenum’. This is a piece of fibrous tissue in your mouth that can be responsible for causing a gap and also from preventing it’s closure. It may be needed for full orthodontic closure but maybe not to ‘artificially’ close it using a veneer like a Lumineer. Why don’t you ask your nearest cosmetic dental expert for advice?
