Question about braces, are they necessary for a 4mm gap?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What else?: What else is going on? Are teeth to narrow? Are they out of position? If teeth moved to close space, space opens on either side of th 2 teeth that are moved. Everyone's different. Go see an othodontic specialist for an individualized evaluation.
