I’ve had my tongue pierced for four years. In the last 6 months I’ve noticed that my front bottom row of teeth has shifted forward and now have a couple gaps behind them. You can’t see it when I smile or talk, but it still worries me that it’s going to get worse.
Do you think this is happening because of the tongue ring or something else? (I do not have wisdom teeth on the bottom so it’s not that.)
Anyone else had this happen to them?

I can guarantee it isn’t from the tongue ring. The only thing a tongue ring will do to your teeth is chip them up. Teeth are always shifting, until they find an equilibrium from the force of your tongue, your lips on the other side, and your opposing teeth which can push them either way depending on what type of bite you have. How old are you? you could still be growing. I really don’t know what you mean by gaps behind them. either way, if it really concerns you, you can see an orthodontiist for a free consultation.
My doctor’s place implants and have this article on their website.

Having your tongue pierced is one of the worse things you could do to your teeth. Not only can it make your teeth shift but ruin the enamel and chip your teeth. You were only given 1 set please think of taking it out.
