A common problem that often disrupts the appearance and function of someone's dentition is gaps between teeth. Gaps in the teeth can make smiling difficult and eating problematic. With the help of modern dentistry, gaps can be treated and closed. Ready to learn more?
Closing the gap between your front teeth can be done through several options, depending on your preference and dental health. Here are some common methods:
- Orthodontic Treatment: Orthodontic treatment which includes braces and aligners is the ideal way for closing gaps between teeth. It gradually moves its teeth so as to close the gap. The typical time from start to end varies from 6 months to 24 months
- Composite veneers: A tooth-colored resin called composite can be applied to the teeth to close the gap. If you have small gaps or want a quick fix for gapped teeth, composite bonding will be the best solution for you.This is a quick and cost-effective solution.
- Ceramic Veneers: It is a thin, tooth-colored shell made up of porcelain and is applied over the tooth’s outer surface. It is widely recommended to fix various cosmetic issues like Gaps between teeth, discolored teeth, chips or cracks, size, shape, etc. Porcelain veneers are resistant to stains, withstand your chewing force to a great extent and they are highly durable when compared to composite resins.
- Crowns: Though crowns are never the preferred option for closing the gaps in cases where teeth already have cavities on multiple surfaces, existing big fillings, or fractured teeth; crowns are suggested.
