Braces Treatement
I had removed my braces 2 years ago. I noticed that the gap between my teeth is becoming wider again. Is there a way to fix it? If yes, how much the treatment will cost me?

Spacing can sometimes appear again after Orthodontic treatment, these spaces can be very easily closed with the retainers provided to you after Orthodontic treatment. Once the spaces are closed you can opt for fixed bonded retainers. You need to get in touch with your orthodontist for this.

Hi, generally a permanent retainer is put after braces treatment. It helps maintaining teeth in the new position. I would advice you to visit dentist again as treatment would depend upon the amount of gap.

Full clinical evaluation is needed to tell the treatment plan. Cost will be decided based on that. It will cost you somewhere 20 k

Hello Mam,
you need to consult your orthodontist to check if only Retainers could fix the problem or you need to repeat the treatment.Go for fixed retention once the treatment is complete so that the spacing does not occur again.
