Does wearing braces make your teeth look bigger after you've taken them off?

My friends and I were looking at pictures and noticed that the people who previously had braces looked like they had teeth that were bigger than those that didn't. Does wearing braces push your gums back?

I've had braces, and so have a lot of my friends. I personally felt that my teeth looked bigger, but then I realised that I hadn't seen them without braces on them for a while, and probably wasn't used to seeing them normally. Another thing that might make them look bigger is if the teeth were very badly positioned in the mouth to begin with, on angles and such. If the teeth then become straightened, they may look bigger. Hope this helps!

Reply:of course not! there is no way that it's possible to get bigger teeth by trying to rotate and reposition your teeth. maybe it's some kind of optical illusion that you see, but your teeth will not be able to grow more dentin, pulp, enamel, etc. just by moving them. however, it is possible to shorten your roots if your teeth move too quickly, but that's below the gum line. maybe it looks bigger because they're teeth are close together and equally positioned to look as if they grew.
