Bonding for small teeth

Annalee S. Kruyer DDS answers: Bonding or Invisalign for small teeth with spaces?

Hi I am 18 and I have smaller teeth than normal and spaces between them. I was wondering what I could do about it?

I have had my two front teeth bonded and I love them except they are covered in the back, uneven and hurts when I drink cold drinks. And when I floss, it catches on the rough spots.

But since my teeth are small, would Invisalign make my teeth look weird when they were straightened? Which is better between Invisalign and bonding for the spaces in my teeth then?

Ashley,

I have not seen your teeth and a close up photo of your teeth would help a lot. Normally simply straightening teeth that are small can make you look child like.

It is usually better at your age to have bonding done.  It is paramount that you have a dentist with cosmetic training do that donding if you want it to look real.

When you are a little older--21 years old or so--veneers are an incredible option.

I hope this helps

Dr. K
