I had very over crowded teeth and I had started with orthodontic treatment for the same around 2 years back. Now the treatment is in final stages and I am starting see black triangles in between my teeth due to missing papilla. I am currently 26 years old. What can be done to get this black triangle fixed. My orthodontist has already performed IPR on this region once and is concerned that we reduce the tooth width any further, the symmetry will be completely lost between my incisors.
My orthodontist said that I am ready to have my braces removed within the next two months. This concerns me as there are several little black triangles everywhere in my bite. In addition my maxillary lateral incisors are both slightly behind my two front teeth. I have received palatal expansion and am thinking that the only way to correct this would be to expand the palate again to line them up. Note: projected treatment was 24 months. It is at 29 months as of this writing; I have had no extractions.
I do not want to ruin my teeth or create a bigger gap...or start something that I would have to forever maintain by re-bonding. At the same time, I do not mind spending more on Fast Braces to push the two lower teeth together. My only concern is that while I have never had braces, I am not certain how braces would fix a black triangle..the teeth are together, already.
I have braces since 2011 and I'm getting them off in a few weeks time and I'm really looking forward to it but I noticed black triangles. I don't really mind them as I think my teeth look good anyway. Would this slow down my braces coming off or would my orthodontist still take them off? Would the gum grow back over them once the braces are off? I don't really think they look ugly but I just want them off. Thanks
My upper two front teeth used to overlap, but not anymore, thanks to braces. But I noticed that a small black triangle had formed instead & is unpleasant to the eye. Since then, I use mouthwash, a smaller toothbrush to clean my brackets & tried flossing. I heard that these black triangles could be caused by bacteria, that baking soda helps stimulate gum growth? Are the gums going to heal by themselves after my braces are taken off / if I practice good oral hygiene? I'm only 17. Other solutions?
Hi. I just recently got my braces off, but I'm not satisfied with my teeth because of the black triangles. Before I got my braces off, my orthodontist said my gums will rise back up to fill the holes, but I don't think gums rise up... I'm considering another treatment of braces to close the gaps (even though I completed my phase II of braces). Will it be possible to get another round of braces even though I completed phase II to close the gaps?
I do have small triangle in between my front 4 teeth. Before i have braces, i only have really small black triangle on the right side..but now i have 3 black triangles on my front teeth....what is the best solution? I was thinking to get veneers, but maybe there is better option??
I am one week away to get my braces off. My teeth looks perfect, except that I have some black triangles formed between my teeth and gum. My orthodontist suggests to cut off part of the enamel to make my teeth narrower and less angled. Then he will close the space between teeth to make the black triangle disappear. My question is that would this procedure (trim some enamel) weaken my teeth and make them very sensitive? Would it be worth it, or would cause more problem in the future? Thanks!
