Will braces help correct the gaps between my teeth, even though I am a tongue thruster?
Dear Sir ,
I have huge gap between my upper and lower teeth which looks so awakward that I cannot explain .I consulted few doctors here and received mixed advises.Most of them said that I should go for Braces however few of them convinced me saying that the gaps are due to the pusing and touching tendency of my toungue , which is relatively bigger than normal.Even if I get the gaps fixed by using braces for long [eriod of time , there is no guarantee that the gaps will not come again. Kindly advise me what should be the suitable and economical treatment for my case.
Thank you in advance.
hi
both explanations could be right – pts who tongue thrust do get gaps between the teeth. the key is that following orthodontics you should have a retainer preferably bonded as well as a spare removable in case this breaks to prevent the tongue from pushing the teeth apart again
