I have gaps between all teeth. I'm 33. I smoked for 12 years, stopped 2 years ago. I also kept bad oral cleaning for years. This led to gum disease, which led to gaps between teeth. I think has been cured now by my dentist due to root planning and scaling. Now I keep good oral care. My mouth feels much better. But I hate food getting stuck in the gaps. Is there a solution for this? P.s. I also gring my teeth at night

Unfortunately the only solution its grinding the 4 anterior teeth, and performing porcelain veneers ,only if you want them to look nice and even, and I say 4 because the laterals need to be filed down as well , so they would distribute the tooth contour. I hope this helps.
