What is the best option to close my front tooth gap?

Monday, January 23rd, 2012
Q.

I have an 1/8 in gap between my two front teeth and I was wondering if you would recommend orthofill bands as a solution…or what would you recommend.. its unsightly to me. I’ve done quite a bit of research on orthofill sounds OK except I haven’t had any expert advice I would appreciate some pointers. Also I am a 23 yr old male and have been wanting to fix the problem since my teen years it always embarrassed me. I would love to smile with confidence and would rather not get braces if there is another way being my teeth are really straight other than the gap. Thanks

What can I do about my gap teeth?

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
Q.

hiya there, i have a very large gap between my 2 front teeth and as far as i know i have always had it there. i dont really understand why its there, i always assumed it would close as i grew, what options do i have? i really hate it though and just wondered if it can be fixed and if so how much it would cost and what i need to have done ie: would it be more than one treatment or a course etc etc. would i need cosmetic dentistry or could i get it done at my normal dentist? if the treatment is costly can it be paid off in instalments or do you need to pay all upfront? thank you very much

I am 15 will I be able to have cosmetic work done or will I have to wait?

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011
Q.

Hi, I am wondering if you are able to chip/scrap of the bottoms of the tooth so that they are all equal and straight. Also I would like to have my gaps filled and teeth whitened however I’m only a teenager, I’m 15 so I doubt my teeth would have not full developed. Would you only do this on extreme conditions or if I was to request it, also how much would this cost? I have done some research and I have found baking soda does actually help whiten your teeth. Anyway thank you for taking the time to read my dilemma hope you can help thanks.

I look forward to your reply.

Thank you.

Will cosmetic bonding or veneers be better for the treatment of my daughter’s teeth?

Thursday, August 11th, 2011
Q.

my 13 year old daughter has just had brace removed and has been told by our old dentist she could have vaneers ,as she has had problem with many of her front teeth the bottom of her teeth are thicker and yellow ,and children can be really cruel to her ,she brushed her teeth twice a day but kids say she just dont brush ,would you think bonding would be a better choice ??? I have done a bit of research and she is going to see a local dentist tomorrow and she has got her hopes up that they will do something to help her ,i really feel for her because she has had this problem since her second teeth have come through so i am really eager for this problem to be solved at this very sensitive age

I have chipped two of my teeth, would crowns or veneers be a good option?

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011
Q.

Hi my 2 front teeth are chipped from an accident that happened last year, (one is only missing a thrid of the tooth and the other is missing 2/3rds of the tooth ) i don’t know whether to get Veneers or a Crown done ? I am scared that a veneer will just snap of and that they will have to grind away nearly all of my tooth for a crown. I have also had both nerves removed in the teeth. Thanks for your help

What is the best way to close the gaps at the front of my mouth?

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011
Q.

I have gaps between my two front teeth and between my right front tooth and lateral incisor, and my left lateral incisor and canine. I want to get braces to fix this. Orthodontist says my bottom jaw is too big for my top jaw, so can’t close the gap. Lateral incisors did not grow wide enough, so there is spaces. They can shave my bottom teeth vertically, push them backwards and close the top jaw teeth a little, but will need bonding on the sides of the lateral incisors to close all gaps. I am not excited about bonding on lateral incisors. I was wondering if a veneer on the canines would be sound and they could widen that tooth instead of widening the lateral incisor. Question – would that look too odd or be not strong on a canine tooth? Especially since the problem is that my lateral incisors are the problem with not being wide enough? i don’t want my teeth to look too wide or unnatural. I want a long term solution.

My teeth seem to change on a daily basis, what is the cause?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

Hello Doctor, 

Just got my 2 front teeth bonded to close a gap in my front teeth. I feel like they move from day to day. Sometimes looking really buck and long…other times ok.. I can also feel the teeth on my top lip sometimes…is that a sign that they are bucking out. I have always had a little bucking…but this seems like much more…
What should I do? I have been wearing a one of the night mouth guards…but not sure if it making is better or worse. As I said before…I take pics of my teeth…certain times ok and others not so happy. Can’t really get anyone to be honest with you about your teeth…so what can I do? Thank you very much for your time
