[|Human|] hi, m a 21 yr old guy. I have braces(ceramic) since the last 30 months. My doctor has decided to remove them in month of october, this year. My query is that what should be the distance(gap) between the upper teeth and the lower teeth on closing the mouth. Right now, it looks like that the gap in my case is 3mm. So is this okay for a normal individual or some more work is needed to be done on my teeth??? Please let me know.
[|AI|]  Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. Usually the gap should be 2 mm between the upper and the lower teeth. It appears there is no problem, if all the other things like molar relation and facial profile is acceptable. Still, if you want you can very well discuss it with your treating orthodontist. You can also talk about retainers and wear them for required period, it helps retain the profile to the new attended shape. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
