A member asked:
I had braces as a teen but had an accident and needed them again. i had upper limited braces on the front 6 teeth and now my front teeth feel too close. is it possible that widening the top front 6 teeth made my front two teeth closer?

Without knowing what your dentition looked like before your accident and how it looks now makes it difficult to answer your question in a meaningful way. It is very possible you had very slight spacing before the trauma and now you have none. Your orthodontist can elaborate further using your diagnostic records as a reference.
