Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 When my OS performed my surgery...he had to cut the top wire on my braces between my two front teeth. I think it had something to do with him narrowing my upper jaw. I didn't even think to ask him why it had to be cut. Well he told me that I'd have a gap there because of it...and there is definitely a gap there. He said not to worry about it and that when I go back to my orthodontist next week...they'll put a new wire on...and it will get closed up. So I'm just curious...is this something that will close up like in a matter of days after I get the new wire on...or will it take awhile. It's not like a huge deal compared to everything else I've gone through...but I was just curious. Thanks! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Hey there Tom! I didn't have the same thing from my surgery, but when I started my braces I had a HUGE gap between my top two front teeth and I was utterly amazed by how quickly it closed. The powerchains closed it up in a matter of weeks. It was kinda funny actually because when I started out I thought this was the major problem with my teeth, I was completely wrong on that though. Don't worry about it though, I'm sure the ortho can close it up in no time at all. Kim > When my OS performed my surgery...he had to cut the top wire on my > braces between my two front teeth.
