Braces For Gaps In Teeth

See when fixed braces may be used to close gaps and what questions to ask before comparing treatment options.

How braces can close gaps

Fixed braces can move teeth together gradually and may be useful when gaps are linked with bite issues, rotations, missing teeth spaces, or wider orthodontic goals.

When aligners may also work

Clear aligners can close some spacing cases, especially when gaps are smaller and the bite allows predictable movement.

Why retainers matter after spacing treatment

Spaces can reopen after treatment if retainers are not worn. Ask about fixed and removable retainer options before treatment starts.
