How are gaps in the teeth caused after removal of braces?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gaps in teeth: Gaps in teeth right after braces generally come from the space where the bands were! sometimes, perfectly tight teeth with no spaces is not attainable and your dr did not inform you of that! the third possibility is that you have not worn your retainers 24/7 or they don't fit right!
