I have a large gap between my two front teeth (about 4mm) and my right canine is missing
Q. Hi, I really hope you will be able to answer my question quickly, as my problem is causing me a lot of unhappiness. I am 21. I have a large gap between my two front teeth (about 4mm), and my right canine is missing. I actually think that it is the tooth that is meant to be between my canine and the front one that is missing, but the canine has moved into the position that the missing one should be. (Sorry for that awful explanation). All of my other teeth are straight and very healthy, top and bottom. I was wondering what kind of treatment I would need to fix this problem, to make me have a nice smile, and a rough guess at the cost. I’d really appreciate any help, thank you in advance!

Orthodontics perhaps using clear positioners such as invisalign or clearstep is around £4000 some cases much less. To close the central gap and move the canine back.
Then bridge the the space created with an adhesive or crown retained bridge £600-1200. total treatment time 8-18months.
The alternative might be veneers or aesthetic bonding with filling this could be done in as little as two visits but for best results should be simulated on casts and digital photos before starting.
