Black triangles after orthodontics
What can we do about them? 🦷
Sometimes, after braces or aligners, you may notice small triangular spaces between your teeth.
These are often called “black triangles” and can make you feel like something is missing from an otherwise straight smile.
The good news is, they can often be improved.
For some patients, a simple composite build-up can be used to gently reshape the teeth and close the space.
In other cases, gum coverage surgery may be an option. This depends on factors such as the quality and thickness of the gum tissue, as well as the shape of the teeth.
There isn’t one solution that works for everyone, the right approach depends on your individual smile.
If you have black triangles that you’d like to improve, give us a call at 0172023713 or WhatsApp and we can discuss the options with you.
