Can I Close a 5mm Gap Between my Front Teeth? In How Much Time? (photo)

Hello, so looking at your pictures.  The muscle attachment is strong and low (called frenum).   The frenectomy was probably recommended because this constant pulling / contracting on the muscle caused diastema (space between teeth).   You can overcome these forces and close the space using Invisalign but you're going to have to wear a retainer- every night, in perpetuity.   Also, all throughout the day, your gap is going to want to open up (the forces are that strong), then all night the retainer will push it back.  This constant movement is not good long term IMO.  I would reconsider the frenectomy.  Second I would investigate if you're a candidate for a lingual bonded retainer on front two teeth.  Hope this helps!

I think you have done your research. Using invisalign to close the space is the right choice. However, I would caution you not to leave the frenulum attachment between #8 and #9, because the space will reoccur, after invisalign is complete. My suggestion is to remove this attachment to prevent relapse of your invisalign results. And the overjet is easily corrected with invisalign as well. This should produce some great results. Hopefully, you can post them once your treatment is complete. Hoping the best!
