Frenectomy: Please see an Orthodontic Specialist to examine and advise you. Frenectomy probably required. I prefer closing space first, which is not difficult, and having frenectomy done once teeth in ideal position but before braces removed to assure tissue healing with tooth roots ideally located. Frenectomy best done by a Periodontist, a gum/bone specialist.

Depends: There are many reasons your front teeth may be spaced. You need to see another orthodontist or even two to see if your age and probable periodontal (gum) condition will allow a successful treatment outcome with or without a frenectomy. You have lived 88 years with the space. Why change it now?
