###Human: Can braces correct malaligned upper teeth with gaps? ###Assistant: Hi. Your age is ideal for orthodontic treatment. If you will delay further then treatment will take more time for completion so it is better to start with it sooner. If you will be having a gummy smile and 3 mm of gum line will be visible after treatment, that is fine too. People look younger with a gummy smile, but you have to properly maintain your oral hygiene then. Stay happy and blessed dear.
