If you have gaps between your teeth, you are not alone. In fact, fixing gaps is one of the most common problems people have. There are a few options to close gaps, depending on how large the gap is, and the characteristics of your individual teeth.
Let’s look at a few options:
Dental bonding, which is an excellent choice for small, narrow gaps; for bonding, a liquid resin material known as composite is used. Composite is matched to the color of your teeth and then sculpted onto the sides of the teeth adjacent to the gap. The material is hardened with ultraviolet light, and the gap appears closed. Bonding is non-invasive and requires no anesthetic.
Veneers, which are perfect for larger, wider gaps; veneers are thin laminates of plastic or porcelain which are cemented onto the front surfaces of your teeth. They can make even larger gaps disappear, giving you the appearance of a perfectly aligned smile. Veneers are considered conservative treatment because little to no tooth surface is removed, just enough to compensate for the thickness of the veneers.
Invisalign, which is an orthodontic treatment using clear plastic dental appliances known as aligners; Invisalign is the comfortable, permanent way to close gaps and correct other tooth positioning and alignment issues. You can remove the aligners to eat, and to brush and floss, making them convenient for your busy lifestyle. Invisalign treatment can be completed in 9 to 15 months.
