Q. I live in France, my dentist has suggested that I have what I can only describe as staples put between my loose teeth to stabalise them. Have you heard of this method? She is also talking of building up my 2 front teeth to close the 4mm gap that I have developed over the past 5 years. Again something I have not heard of. Please can you set my mind at rest that this is acceptable treatment as it is far from cheap!!!
