A straightforward solution to straightening crooked teeth and closing tooth gaps are braces in North Lauderdale. Braces have been around for a long time, and they are proven safe and effective in treating a wide range of orthodontic issues. However, it is possible that your teeth may not move, and some gaps may not close. Most of the time, it comes down to one of the following reasons.
One of the most common reasons your teeth aren’t closing up is because of the position, shape, and size of your teeth. Your tooth could be way too small to fit the space. In such a case, your orthodontist may recommend reshaping your tooth or resizing it to fill the gap appropriately.
Another problem is the position of your teeth. It’s possible that they could be angled oddly, or the roots of two adjacent teeth are already in contact with each other preventing the crowns from coming together.
If your teeth are not the problem, then it could be the structures surrounding them. Some factors that could stop the spaces from closing are thick gum tissues between the teeth, tongue posturing problems, ligament problems, and cysts that grow between tooth roots.
If your teeth and surrounding structures are normal, it’s probably your bite. Spaces can develop when the lower front teeth push against the back of the upper front teeth. Some patients can have a wedge inside a tooth gaps preventing it from closing.
For your braces to work, your orthodontist will make sure that they are placed after thoroughly evaluating your teeth and bite and providing you with the appropriate treatment.
