Is the procedure she used to straighten her teeth done in one sitting or a period of time? Because I remember when I had braces there was a period where I had a gap between my two front teeth, but it went away later.

What you said is true, I work in an orthodontic clinic and know that having crooked/over-crowding teeth may lead to cavity. Maybe that's why she choose to straighten her teeth for beauty and health purposes. (: I'm not sure what exactly did she do during that period, perhaps she wore transparent braces?
