I have a wide gap in the front of my mouth. how do i get it closed

Q. I have a wide gap in the front of my mouth. About 15 years ago I had bonding to try to close the gap, however, it really didn’t help. over the years, I have inserted tissue to try to fill in the space (I know it sounds crazy!!) I had been in financial bind for so long that i didn’t have the financial resources to solve the problem. Anyway, now it seems the gap may have gotten a little wider with the insertion of tissue. What I wanted to know is would I be able to get the bonding removed and what is your suggestion for the gap. The size of the gap is about the width of the top of a female pinky finger. I’ve never really spoken to anyone about this matter, so I am really ashamed, but I would like to be able to smile more and be confident about my smile. Any suggestions???

A. This si very difficult to solve. I would recommend a brace to close the space then some bonding to make the teeth look more even
