How do braces fill in the gap for the extracted teeth and how long would it take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bridge the gap: Braces move teeth around slowly to close gaps between teeth. It can take months up to a year but your orthodontist should have given you a time frame during your treatment consult appointment. Good luck!
