Aligners caused gap between teeth? 1 year into SmileDirectClub, is there a reason for this? (photo)

Question

Im a year and several months into my clear aligner treatment. (Smile direct club) just within the last few weeks ive noticed this gap between my top two front teeth that was never there before. Is there an legitimate reason why this would be part of my plan to straighten my one canine? Or could something be going wrong?

Jeff Sulitzer, DMD · Answer

At the beginning of treatment a digital plan is provided that outlines the predicted movement of teeth within a certain time frame. As with any type of orthodontic treatment teeth do not always move as predicted and adjustments and extensions sometimes need to be made. If a customer completes treatment but does not achieve the results as outline there is a process in place to re-evaluate. The license dental professional will create additional steps to achieve the final movements needed.  There is typically no additional charge for this if results were not achieved as originally outlined and the customer has been complaint with wearing the aligners. It is never the intention to provide misleading information or not provide the desired outcome that was outlined.  For further information, you should reach out to the specific Licensed Dental Professional overseeing your case to further evaluate your situation.
