Is It Possible To Fix Gum Recession Between my Two Front Teeth Which Got Worse During Braces?

August 28, 2011
Asked By:A10 in East Brunswick, NJ

I still have few months until I get done with braces and I am very concerned about this issue. I was told that getting veneers or bonding won't help much as it won't look natural, because between the teeth should be a gum tissue and even closing the hole with veneers or bonding won't look nice and natural. Is it possible to have a gum graft to fix that area? What else can be done and what specialist should I see? My periodontist said that it's challenging for him. Please help me with advice.
