    Default Gaps between teeth

    Hi everyone

    I'm new to this site and looking for some advice. I have 3 quite big gaps between the teeth at the front of my top jaw.

    What would be the cheapest way of remedying this? I have attached a photo.

    As an aside, I am 20 years old. Are the gaps likely or possible to close up as I get older or are they pretty much set now?

    Thanks so much if you can offer me any advice.

    Hi

    It is very difficult to answer with one photo, but i will try my best to give options.

    the options are
    1. braces or invisable braces, but this would distribute the space somewhere else
    2. a combination of the above and veneers or composite bonding.

    It is difficult to say which is the best option, aswell as the cheapest option without looking at the teeth clinically and radiographically.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you for your reply.

    Research on the internet seems to suggest that bonding will be the cheapest method for me to try.

    Do I see a dentist or orthodontist for this?

    i would recommend seeing a cosmetic dentist who will work with an orthodontist. This form of treatment would have to be a team approach.
