[|Human|] i have had braces for almost 2 years and before i got them on i had a gap. when my braces fixed my gap in between my two front teeth the gum that was in the gap began to puff up. now i have a big piece of my gums in the front and behind my two front teeth. it almost looks like when my gap closed the braces pushed my gums together and pushed the in front and behind these teeth. what is this and is it serious?
[|AI|]  Hello and Welcome to Chat Doctor, Thanks for writing to us. I would like to inform you that gap between upper front two teeth is due to a thick French(muscle) which prevents the two teeth from coming in contact. I have not checked you clinically, therefore I will not be able to tell you if you need a surgical removal of the French or not, but as your orthodontist has not performed a refectory prior to your treatment, then it's not needed. But, as a normal healing process, French will take the desired shape and close the gap. After completion of your orthodontic treatment, you will be given retainers to wear, which will keep your teeth in position. I would advise you to talk to your dentist regarding refectory once. But, if it's not needed in your case, then do not worry, the French will take a normal shape gradually. Hope this helps you. Wishing you good health... Regards.
