I had braces when I was 15 -16 years old, but i didn’t wear my retainers as often as i should’ve. After several years my teeth began to part and i have a gap of around 2.5mm between my two front teeth and the lateral incisor. I would like to know if I can have a Lingual braces put in and how much this would cost??

Can a bridge be used when there is a gap from 2 missing teeth?

Usually yes- provided that there is a tooth either side of the gap and that these teeth are healthy and strong enough
