Q. I have straight teeth with slight spaces on the bottom and a 3mm gap between my front two teeth. I have a diastema and it broke a while back but it is still there. How could i fix this? Braces are expensive and my teeth are perfectly straight already but is it still a neccesssity?

A. Closing gaps are not a necessity but can greatly improve the look of a smile.  Orthodontics is often the best course of action and is cheaper than having multiple veneers placed
