Invisalign complete, now have a gap in front teeth that I never had!

Question

am done with treatment. I ma now wearing retainers, I have a small gap in between my two front I teeth that was NOT there before invisalign. My dentist said it may close with the retainers if not I need to have them bonded or glued together? Is this true?

Kenneth A. Barton, DDS · Answer

My name is Dr.Kenneth Barton. I am an Elite Provider, and maintain offices in Silverton (Toms River) N.J. The chances of your retainer closing your space, kis about 50/50. Unless your teeth are small. cosmetic bonding is not advisable, as it will result in "large teeth" In addition, artificial materials (bonding), are fragile and difficult to create a color, identical to your natural teeth. Your best bet is to have additional trays  msade to close this space, followed by Vivera retainers

Robert L. Knudson, DDS · Answer

Sounds like you need to talk to the dentist how you find having additional dentistry done to your front teeth that will have to be redone several times in your lifetime is not a satisfactory solution.  If they made a gap where there was none, their job is not done.
