Is there any surgery available to have the gaps in my front teeth closed?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010
Q.
I have perfectly healthy teeth, but was always told by dentists that my top layer would gradually close and have less gaps, they are not huge gaps but enough to be noticed and get me down. I am now nearly 22 and feel these gaps will now never close. Is there any surgery i can get to close these front 4 top teeth, or what is the best option? :),

Options to close gaps are 1. … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Any treatment available for obvious gaps in teeth?

Thursday, March 18th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Solanki I unfortunately suffer from a lot of overcrowding and as such both of my top incisor teeth stick out . I waited and waited for my dentist to take action when I was younger but he kept on putting off orthodontic work as my milk teeth took so long to fall out. We eventually moved to a different area where we couldn’t get a dentist. As a result I never got the braces I desperately wanted. I am now at a stage where I have summoned up the courage to get braces, a process which I know will be costly as I am now in my mid twenties. I still have a milk top right canine tooth and am wondering if this will have to be removed prior to braces being fitted? If so, will I have to wait until a new tooth grows in before braces can be fitted? The thought of wearing braces as an adult fills me with dread but the prospect of having a gap prior to braces is even worse. Is there any way this obvious gap could be covered up? Many thanks in advance for your help.,

Would implants be best option to replace gapped teeth?

Thursday, January 14th, 2010
Q.
I had a large gap between my two front teeth and my eye teeth are missing. I had two braces – the first one didn’t work at all – they sprung back before the retainer could be fitted and after the second one I had a wire put on to the back of them to keep them together. But the side teeth moved to create two gaps either side and the front ones began to cross. I then opted for four crowns to fill the gaps but in order to do this they are so big I look awful – like a horse and have no confidence. And I STILL have a gap in the front as even the crowns couldn’t stop them moving apart. I cannot see the way forward: If I have smaller crowns it won’t fill the gaps. Would implants work – can they only be placed where the teeth were before so would still have to be big? I’m 27 and have spent all my life dreading opening my mouth to talk to people or smile. What, if anything can be done? Thanks,
A.

Is it normal to get gaps in teeth during braces?

Thursday, January 14th, 2010
Q.
Hi, ive had fixed braces for 4months now because i have a 11mm overbite and a gap between my 2 front teeth. I was just wondering how long it would take for just the gap to dissappear, its about 2mm. Also, i had my 4th tooth from the front on each side on the top row removed and now ive got gaps between all of my front teeth, except from my middle one which hasn’t changed and i wanted to know if this is normal and if they will move back and what will happen to the two gaps where my teeth got removed. Thanks so much.,
