“Can a gap in front teeth be fixed?”
I have a gap between my front teeth. I want to fix it. Can a gap in front teeth be fixed?
8 Answers
Certainly it can be fixed. Four options come to mind.
1. Braces- orthodontics can close the space when appropriate. It depends on the type of space and is not always possible or affordable.
2. Crowns- can not only close the space in ideal circumstances, but can also restore the teeth to a more pleasing color and shape.
3. Veneers- like crowns, they can close the space and change tooth color and shape. They do not require as much tooth shaping and preparation.
4. Cosmetic bonding- an application of tooth colored filling material (resin) to reshape the front teeth, closing the space.
Veneers and crowns may turn out to be as expensive as orthodontics. Bonding is generally the most affordable, though not as long-lasting as veneers or crowns. However, no matter if you choose veneers, crowns or bonding, be careful that the final result doesn't give you extra large, unnatural teeth. Sometimes the space is simply too large to leave you with a normal looking smile. Your dentist can discuss these options and make recommendations for the best treatment for you.

Depends on how large the gap is. Some can be closed with bondings , others may need crowns (2-6 crns)
Yes a gap is rather simple to fix. There are many choices. Usually orthodontics can correct it. Crowns, veneers and composite restorations all can be used to correct gaps, depending on the situation.
To answer your question intelligently, it will help to know how big the gap and size of existing teeth. This will determine if bonding to close the gap or braces will be the best option. But the short answer is yes.
Gaps can be fixed by orthodontics treatment to close the spaces or by caps.
As long as the gums are healthy. Yes! Your dentist can help determine if braces, bonding, crowns, or veneers are your best option.
