Dentists please answer?
I have a small gap in front of my teeth..and i was wondering if it will come together. I am 14 years old and my family members dont have many gaps. Most of all my adult teeth have grown in.

but will the gap maturally go away?
Answers:
This will space will not close together now. All your adult teeth have erupted and looking at your picture , you have a low attachment of your frenum (connects your gums to your lips) This can prevent the teeth coming together. The treatment options are:
1) Have bonding (white fillings) placed between your teeth to disguise the gap
2) Surgery to move the frenum upwards then braces for a short while to finally bring the teeth together
The decision is yours!
