A member asked:
I'm wondering how long does it take to close a gap with braces?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Depends on size of the gap, type of braces used, skill, of the operator, quality of bone support, health of gum tissues, tip/torque of adjacent teeth, and so many other things. See a qualified orthodontic specialist for diagnosis and rx plan.
