Is this a gap or black triangle? Very confused about what to do about my front teeth. (Photos)

October 2, 2015
Asked By:Keekee01 in Philadelphia, PA

I asked 2 days ago about my teeth and I received great answers, but I noticed that the space is getting larger and it's more prominent when I floss. I had braces for 5 years. I never got my wisdom teeth removed and my teeth shifted a bit and my front teeth overlap very slightly now. I can't tell if I have a black triangle from overflossing or if I'm getting a gap from my teeth shifting. Should I bond this space or should I see an ortho and get braces again ? I'm not sure what to do ): thank you.
