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

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

Hi thank for writing in

There may be many options open to you, ranging from composite dental bonding, to crowns or porcelain veneers. Maybe even an orthodontic intervention may help or indeed be ideal.

Without seeing you in person and carrying out a thorough examination and assessment of your individual situation it’s impossible to give you accurate answers. The best thing for you to do is to come and see us, or find a really good, experienced cosmetic dentist or orthodontist in your area, and have a consultation.

You will find out some answers and options available to you following this visit and also of course the cost of the treatments involved

Hope that helps

Kind regards

Mark
