Hi, My twelve year old has a gap between her 4 upper incisors and lower. It makes her teeth look very messy and disorganized. Can it be fixed? And if so how long will it take it is ver uncomfortable and painful for her because when she puts her teeth together like resting point the dont touch. I feel very guilt for not taking her to the orthodontics soon enough her gap is about 4mm thank u
Hello. I just read through your question. It is not too late to be evaluated by an orthodontist. In fact, the problem can still be repaired. It is still possible even if her age to have the teeth of lined perfectly. It typically takes about two to three years. However, it would be better to consult with an orthodontist about the time frame.
