Hi, Mike,
Oh, rats!!
I wish I`d known that back when we first were on this list! She was
young enough then...
I have a huge diastema (gap) in my front teeth too, and guess what? It
is hereditary! My dad had it, and all 4 of my kids did, too. Well, the
kids all had what`s called a "frenectomy" done at age 8, after the front
teeth had grown in, but just before the two teeth on either side had
grown in. It was a cut in the muscle that runs above the top teeth.With
the easing of the tension in that muscle, as the side teeth grew in,
they forced the diastema closed. All 4 have perfect teeth now as adults.
Sorry this knowledge is too late, but maybe it will help someone else.
Too darn bad your dentist didn`t know about it.
sigh...

PS, it is good to be back!!!!
Hi folks,
I have the greatest of respect for you all and treasure you as a most
valuable resource. I beg your indulgence for a personal question that
is not particularly CS related:
My 15 year old daughter needs braces. At least, she has a gap between
her front teeth that needs closing. Of course we don't know what else
the orthodontist will imagine needs doing until we go in there.
<roll eyes>
May I pick your brains for anything you'd care to share with me about
this subject? Things to avoid and seek out? Hazards? Risks? Costs?
Resources and information?
Please educate me!
Thank you,
Mike D.
