hi everyone,
i had my braces taken off almost two weeks ago with a permanent wire placed on my upper and lower front teeth. I noticed a few days ago that I am now getting spaces/gaps in between my teeth where the bonded wire is (my front 6 teeth). I am surprised at seeing this since I thought the bonded wire was there to keep all the teeth in the exact same position. So, of course I googled it & searched this site and found a lot of discussion about tongue thrust and I thought maybe that was what was going on, but I don't think that I have that issue. Has this happened to anyone else? I am worried I will have to put my braces on again
