affordable way to narrow a gap between my tooth

Q. Hi, I have a gap between my two front teeth, what is the most affordable way to narrow that gap. Many Thanks

A. A gap in between the central teeth can be very easily fixed with a composite build up (white filling material). I have done many of these with a beautiful results. It does depend on the size of the gap though as each tooth has a certain length and width that it should be and if you go outside this ratio then the result will not look good. In this case you may be lookinng at Veneers. These are considerably more expenisve and invasive.

To give you an idea of cost in this case is very difficult beacuse i dont know the size of the gap and the set up of your teeth.

A brace would also be an option but you would need to contact an orthodontist if this is something you would consider as braces are not my field.

You are very welcome to email a picture of your teeth to my email address- [email protected] and i give you a more accurate opinion and an idea of price.

Hello
Thank you for your reply. Can you please explain why I am not a candidate for veneers, as you had a look at a picture of my teeth, as I have a gap in the top, and I wanted to know if I could have it filled, or if I had to have veneers. You stated that I should go to an orthodontic, I just wanted to know the reason why i cant have veneers and will they be able to fill the gap with a special filling or do I have to wear a brace. Also I just read that you can buy bands that are hardly noticeable to put around the teeth and they will eventually close the gap, can you let me know if they are any good. Thank you very much for your help.
