Your options are orthodontics, bonding, veneers or crowns. It is not possible to give you a cost without an examination

I have a huge gap and would like to get rid of it. My dentist recommended Bonding but he stated that he will not close the whole gap because it will give me bugs bunny teeth. I also have that meat piece in the middle. What should I do? I was looking into invsalign and or possible the orthodontic bands and close it myself.

I would like to straighten front and surrounding teeth and close gap whichis currently bonded. I would only be interested in doing so with an invisible type of brace as I am 52 and may be too old for treatment. I would liketo do this as quickly as possible but do have some bone deterioration around back teeth. Is this something that might be possible? I realise you cannot tell me with total accuracy without seeing me? Cost would be an importantissue as well. It is possible that the root canal in my front tooth is very small as well. Could you let me know whether this may be possible and your opening times? Thank you

My son is 19 and has small gaps in his teeth. Should he wait until he is older?

Hello,
I lost a tooth recently in a rather tawdry and unpleasant incident which I would rather not go into here. I went to the dentist to see If I get get an Implant but due to the crowding in my teeth she says it is not possible. COuld I get Invisalign to close the gap instead?many thanks for your time and advice

Hello, sorry to hear about your accident,
I would suggest to have a free consultation in order to assess if closing the gap would be a viable and aesthetic solution or we can align the rest of the teeth with Invisalign and create the required space for an implant. If we choose the latest, then a fake tooth in the aligner will be camouflaging the space and it will not look like you are missing a tooth while you are in treatment.

You may be suitable for composite bonding, which can make the gap smaller. It is cost effective, can be done in one visit and will prevent you from wearing braces

which is better for the treatment of a gap, invisalign or fixed braces? I have heard a lot of good things about invisalign, but i still feel inclined to think that fixed braces are better, just from being at that age when everyone at school had them. Is invisalign just as good? because at 32 i would much prefer to have that than fixed braces! thanks for your time

Both solutions can be utilised for space closure. Each of the options have associated pros and cons. Deciding which option is best for you would very much be dependent upon a full clinical and radiographical examination to assess your case suitability. Best of Luck with your treatment

does the price of invisalign include the retainer at the end? and could you tell me which retainer is the best at keeping the teeth straight, fixed or removable? I seem to be getting ahead of myself, but ive had brace treatment before which relapsed, and i just want to make sure that i am covered afterwards, so that doesnt happen again! thanks
