Possible to close gap while having dental bridges? (Photo)

Hello. The gap between central incisors has become because of orthodontic movement of the teeth under the restorations. In that circumstance, the best option to fix this is, renewing the bridge in a 6 unit style from canine to canine. This is a rare occasion but sometimes it can be. That's why we, dentist, don't prefer to divide central incisors in bridge type restorations.

Hi cosmicdreams! Patients who had a previous orthodontic treatment, it is a must to conclude with a retainer, such as a removable or bonded to avoid the movement or gap comebacks after removing the braces. The solution is, change the bridge, correct the form of the central teeth to close the gap, reduce in the bottom a half millimeter the height of the lateral teeth and place a removable retainer, that will also help to reduce the tugging feeling. My best recommendation, is to consider place implants on the missing tooth, for more hygiene and esthetics.
