What do you do when you have straight teeth but a front teeth gap?

Answer 1

With the gap like this, it is usually the recommendation that you have the laboratory ( the Dental Technician ) to make two crowns on you two teeth on both sides of the gap. Your dentist should advise to you and teach you about the options... ( the other option might be a denture or a bridge if the gap is more than 5 milimiters). I have been working as a dental assistant for the last 16 years and this is what I would recommend. The crowns put on your egzisting teeth will give the possisbility to make them wider, properly shaped and at the same time to close the gap. With front teeth, the best solution is to make porcelain crowns, they are strong and very "cosmetic" and will serve you from 5 to 15 years depending on how properly your teeth are prepared(cut)and the impression the dentist is taking. I would strongly advise to go to the cosmetic dentist. These are very expensive, however all other general practicioners have a great ability to do that. Just check your friend's dentist's opinion or you call "The College Of Dental Surgeons", in Ontario: RCDS ( Royal College Of Dental Surgeons", same goes for all different provinces in Canada. In USA it might be something like American College of Dental Surgeons. Don't be affraid of the word" Surgeon", all dentist have that "name", it basically means just a regular dentist. Good luck.

Answer 2

You could get Veneers on your front two teeth which will close the gap. Or you could use orthodontic bands to redistribute the space. * This should be done through consultation with your dentist or orthodontist, because it can change your bite and the pressure on adjacent teeth.
