Should I have a frenectomy done before dental bonding? (Photo)

February 3, 2015
Asked By:bradncorona in Los Angeles, CA

I had braces for three years, I wore my retainer for the time recommended, and then at nights only. I gave up on the retainer three years ago because I still had a gap in my teeth. The first picture is a before and after of how much my teeth have gaped in over a year. The second picture is a close up of my frenum attachment. I would like to close my gap by doing cosmetic dental bonding, would a frenectomy stop my teeth from gaping even more after dental bonding? -Thanks
