I have straight teeth but between each tooth, I have a small to medium sized gap and a little bit of an overbite. I'm just hoping it won't take long to fix my problem.
Answer: How Long? I don't have a lot to add to what has already been said other than PLEASE make sure that your airway is evaluated BEFORE any orthodontics are performed. PLEASE DO NOT just arbitrarily retract teeth to close gaps, this type of treatment could lead to disastrous results for your overall health. It also appears that you have a posterior crossbite which would prohibit you from using Invisalign (at least initially) to treat your case.Good luck!

Answer: Closing space is fast and easy, doing it well is not I highly recommend you see an orthodontist for a consultation. When spaces between teeth are closed, sometimes torque is lost which means the teeth are leaned back giving them a dished-in look. Also, your overbite will deepen. It's often more complicated to have the best possible result than it may appear at first. I have not seen enough information to give a complete diagnosis and treatment plan but I think it is likely your treatment will take about a year.

Answer: How Long Would I Need Braces for Teeth Gaps? Thank you Gabriella for your question. It should take less then year, and more likely something close to 6 months , to close gaps gaps between the teeth, assuming there are no other problems.

Answer: Recommend getting a consultation Looking at only one photo taken from a frontal view is not enough to determine treatment length. If your bite is correct, meaning the way your teeth fit together in the back of your mouth when you bite down, then treatment for space closure could be about 6 months or less. If your bite is not correct then just closing the spaces in the front of your mouth could be detrimental to your bite and cause various other problems. The best thing would be to go to a certified orthodontist who is specifically trained in evaluating these conditions.
