Can I have a frenectomy after my braces treatment? I used to have diastema and now the gap is closed but not that tight.

Hello, If your frenum has a low attachment a frenectomy will help in the long term stability, however a lingual bonded retainer will be your best bet against relapse!Best of luck!

Dear hzlnt,

Thank you for your question. I completely understand your
concern. Without examining you personally, I cannot provide clinical advice.
Generally in cases like these a retainer will be provided once your braces are
removed. If you are concerned about the frenectomy and your diastema, those
questions are better suited for the doctor whom is currently treating you.
He/she most certainly has a plan to ensure the success of your treatment.
Please bring your concerns to his/her attention. Your orthodontist is there to
help!

Best of Health, Dr. Rajaei
