Is it common to get a gap between your two front teeth whilst having braces?

Answer 1

Not as you think. First of all, braces apply a constant and slight pressure to move teeth over an extended period of time. This time depends solely on the severity of your treatment. Second, I am 15 and I wear braces. They were only painful when they put them on and when I go to have them tightened. Third, the braces will push your two front teeth towards each other first and then into their proper positions. They will only push them down slightly, but more if they stick up much farther then they should. After the treatment is over, they should no longer protrude out of your mouth or have spacing between them. I hope this was bale to clarify a few things.

Well, You are most likely to get braces if you have a gap in your two front teeth and you would need a full set of braces ! But the good thing is that when your sixteen your teeth will be nice and straight with no gaps! This is because having the braces in for two years really makes a good difference! I am getting a full set of braces in a few weeks , not just because my front two teeth have a gap in them but also to straighten my teeth! Don't worry and let the dentists do their job. :)
