Black triangles in my mouth
I have braces. after my teeth movements i have formed spaces in between 3 lower teeth called as interproximal spaces. My dentist says i can cut the teeth to create space so that the spaces between teeths can be closed. But this will create sensitivity. I m confused wat to do. Is there any other way to solve this problem?. Is is ok to cut the teeth?
