Q. Hello I am waiting to have a root canal done because my right front tooth is dead and slightly discoloured. After I will have clear step braces to close the gap between my two front teeth. The Clearstep practitioner said that i would need to wait 6 months after having the root canal treatment, to have the braces in, is this true? I really want the gap closed asap. I would like to know if there is something I can do which is inexpensive and quick to hide the gap until I can have this done.,
