Teeth Gap?

Question

I have a gap inbetween my 2 front teeth. I still have some baby teeth left. If I put a rubber band on those teeth, could that cause a problem?

Answer 1

no that's not going to help.  you need to see an orthodontist.  you're still very young and have a lot of growing  to do so give it time.

Answer 2

Yes, don't do it. Go see a dentist and get proper fitted braces :)

Answer 3

please dont do this or any other home made orthodontistry ideas to close up your gap.... go see an orthodontist because you get braces i dont know who told you that but if it was an orthodontist dont go back to them :> because they can give you braces and put brackets on your baby teeth but when they get wobbly they will remove them off that tooth... but there are ways to close your gap not using braces you might get a plate or headgear or something but go get it checked out because if you wait longer it takes longer because mouth growth is starting to slow down from the age of 16 + :> the proper age to get braces which gives the perfect conditions is between thje ages of 11-14 so yer but dont stress its still easy to do at 15-16 just no later because its only time on you then :>

i just turned 14 and i still have two baby teeth but i have no grown-up/permanent/adult tooth whatever you want to call them coming through they are my perms :> so just go get it checked it out by an orthodontist so you can get it fixed if you feel uncomfortable about it ;> i have braces so i dont know what that feeling would be like but i feel sry for people who feel uncomfortable about their smile...your smile is a big part of what makes you, you so who cares just smile :>

.ps. i noticed someone pushed their teeth together using sticks....thats fkn weird may i just say and please dont do this or use a rubberband becuase that person and their mum should be in a circus.....

also someone said the gap will close on its own there is about a 1 in 5 chance of this happening so i would go with the orthodontist ;>

Answer 4

WTF? go see a dentist before you go and possibly f@$k up your teeth.

Answer 5

yep.  don't try to be a dentist, let your dentist be a dentist.

unless you want teeth like British people.

Answer 6

The gap will close after the rest of your permanent teeth grow in. It will be perfectly okay. I bet people dont walk around looking at teeth gaps anyway. It will be okay. Good luck!

Answer 7

I had the same problem when I was young, and it made me very self-conscious.  My parents couldn't afford braces at the time.  Mom told me to use 2 popsickle sticks and push them together every chance I got.  I did, and it worked!

I don't think rubber bands would hurt anything as long as you're careful.  It shouldn't be painful -- if it is, something is wrong and you should use a little less pressure or fewer bands.  Young people's teeth aren't "fixed" into place, so they can indeed be moved into a different position.

Good luck, and I hope you have the beautiful smile you want soon!

Answer 8

YESSS dont do that that is bad i use to have your problem with my teeth too. Eventually the gap closed up. Trust me the worst thing you can do is put things between your teeth even now i have no baby teeth if i put something between my two front teeth  it feels as if there seperating. I would just let the gab close up trust me it will.

Answer 9

I would go see an orthodontist to get it fixed.

Answer 10

i have a gap between mine too!

not even braces or a retainer helped.

i suggest going to an orto.

a rubber band will not do d@m thing lol

Answer 11

Answer 12

Just leave your teeth to the hands of proffessionals.

Answer 13

Answer 14
