Hi!

It is generally better to get your braces first  and then do the bonding once the teeth are aligned. This allows the dentist doing the bonding to do them in their final position to make them look the best possible. If done before, sometimes they won't look right once the teeth are moved.

Hope it helps!

Hi!

First of all, great pictures!

Braces can definitely fix buck teeth and gums. Gums wrap around teeth and follow them around, so by bringing your teeth back, your gums will come back with them. You will most likely need some teeth taken out in the back to be able to move your front teeth back. Treatment should take around 2 years.

Hope it helps

Hi,

You will probably need some kind of treatment if you want to move your teeth. Retainers are only made to hold teeth in their current position. It doesn't have to be braces, you may be able to get Invisalign to do this, but will probably need something other than a retainer.

Hope it helps!

Hi!

Braces can most likely close a gap. Even if the gap is big, it can be closed, it just may take a little longer, but it can be closed. I have done this successfully with many patients.

Hi!

It should take around a year to close that gap. You can use Invisalign for this. Regarding the space between your top and bottom teeth it depends on how large it is. If it's not too large it can be closed with Invisalign or braces. If it's very large, sometimes the braces or Invisalign treatment can be combined with a surgical treatment to bring your front teeth closer to each other. 

Hope it helps!
