My bottom teeth are perfect but my front 4 teeth have gaps between them any tips or advice?
Q. Hiya, i have nice white teeth… my bottom teeth are perfectly positioned but my front 4 teeth have gaps between them. everyone tells me they are fine but they are quite big gaps. the rest are fine its just the front 4. im 23 and getting married next may (2010), i was wondering what, if any my options are to closing the gaps up so i feel more confident- im reluctant to get 4 veneers as ive heard many bad things? any tips or advice? thank you 🙂
A.
Options to close gaps are
1. Veneers, When done well these are predictable and look good. Ultrathin Veneers like Lumineers need no preparation (drilling of the tooth) cost £600-800 per tooth probably need 6 teeth to make the teeth even sizes.
2. Cosmetic bonding ( filling) no tooth preparation needed, average life 2-5yrs. costs (£100-200 per tooth)
3. Orthodontics various systems including clear positioners that dont look like braces, such as Clearstep or Invisalign. Costs about £3000 for one arch. Others like inman aligners will achieve some movement of the front teeth only at lower costs.
