A Gap In My Smile Appears To Be Getting Bigger. What Should I Do?

Q.
Hello Mark. I have a gap in my front tooth and the ones beside it & the one beside my front tooth the gap keeps getting bigger on one side. This has become worse, especially the past few months. I am currently an NHS patient and I already got braces as a child so can’t get them again as I’m not entitled. I’m afraid that if I get a veneer added it will look bad as the tooth will appear bigger. But I can’t smile and I am very self conscious about my teeth. The gap on one side just looks so stupid. Do you know of any treatments that could help me? Thank you.

Hello and thank you for writing in. I would advise you to seek help from an experienced orthodontist an get find out why the gaps are getting bigger. I would need to see you in person ideally, but cosmetic bonding could possibly be an option for you. Try to find an experienced cosmetic dentist who can show you examples of previous work. I hope this helps. Kind regards, Mark.
