The closing time of the gap after the removal of multiple teeth in adults may take from 3 months to 1 year. The specific closing time of the gap is related to the size of the gap, the degree of straightness of the teeth, and the individual’s recovery situation.
1. Related to the size of the gap: if the gap is large after the removal of multiple teeth in adults, the closure time is relatively long, which may take from 7 months to 1 year; if the gap is small after the removal of multiple teeth in adults, the closure time is relatively short, which may take from 3 months to 7 months.
2. Related to the degree of teeth alignment: after the removal of adult supernumerary teeth, the original alignment changes, and it is necessary to wait for the teeth to be gradually aligned before the gap can be closed, eliminating the gap. The time for individual teeth to be realigned and aligned varies, and the time for the gap to be closed also varies.
3. Related to individual recovery: Due to individual physical differences, the closing time of the gap caused by the extraction of multiple teeth is also different.
Usually, if the individual’s recovery is good, the time to finish leveling the teeth after extraction is shorter, and the gap closure time is relatively shorter; if the individual’s recovery is not good, and the time to align the teeth after extraction is longer, the gap closure time is relatively longer.
Adults who have had multiple teeth extracted and find that it takes longer for the gap to close can go to the hospital for a checkup to clarify the cause, so that targeted treatment can be carried out under the doctor’s guidance.
