Wisdom teeth extracted after the gap is getting bigger and bigger need to seek medical attention, need to take appropriate treatment measures under the guidance of the doctor.
Orthodontic treatment (e.g., straight arch aligners, square arch aligners) or periodontal treatment can be taken under the doctor’s guidance. The aggravation of periodontitis will lead to gum recession and widening of the gap between the teeth, and anti-inflammatory treatment is needed. Deep overjet and deep overlay, which tends to tilt towards the lip and widen the gap, i.e. the gap between the teeth is getting wider and wider, need to be treated by orthodontic treatment.
During the treatment period, medication needs to be taken as prescribed by the doctor. After wearing orthodontic appliances, you need to maintain good oral hygiene and brush your teeth after meals. Those with large gaps can use a gap brush to clean the adjacent surfaces of the teeth between the gaps. Eat a light diet of softer, easier-to-chew foods. Avoid foods that are too hard, too sticky or too big, chew bilaterally whenever possible, and chew at a moderate speed.
If the gap between your wisdom teeth is getting bigger and bigger after extraction, you should consult your doctor in time. Cooperate with the doctor’s examination and treatment under the doctor’s guidance. Take medication as prescribed by your doctor and have regular checkups. Once you feel uncomfortable, please consult your doctor immediately.
