What is best to close a gap inbetween front teeth?

Q.
what is the best way to close the gap of my upper front teeth? veneers or invisalign?

Many thanks

A.
Dear Enquirer,
You may be suitable for both or neither, but I can give you some guidelines.
If the gap is up to 3mm then you can have veneers to close the gaps without compromising the aesthetics.
You will need a thorough assessment and a ClinCheck (by invisalign)tomake sure you are suitable for treatment.
Other factors to consider
1. Veneers involve some smoothing of the tooth surface and you will need to have replacement veneers in 10 -15 years but your gap can be closed in as little as 2 weeks.
2. Invisalign or any other type of brace will take much longer to move teeth into place but is non invasive.
Hope this helps,
Sunita

When I was young I had a few teeth removed, therefore, my teeth appear slightly ‘gappy’ but not enough to fit a tooth in the spaces (hope you understand that!) I am missing the teeth that sit between my fangs and front teeth. I would like to ask what would you suggest? I have thought about veneers but would these be suitable?
