The best option for you to close the gap between your front teeth at your age is traditional braces. If you were older porcelain veneers would be an option. At 14 you should consider getting braces and you will end up with a fantastic result. Many times braces can now be completed in 12-18 months. Good luck.
Hi...I am glad you mentioned your age. At fourteen years old, I would not close the gap with veneers! I think that your options, other than traditional braces, are Teen Invisalign or you have the teeth bonded. Teen Invisalign will move the front teeth together and it is a permanent fix providing you follow through with wearing retainers to keep the teeth from moving back once the gap is closed. Bonding, which is a semi temporary fix, will close the gap also but it does not last for a long period of time and usually chips and the teeth will require rebonding again.There is a big difference in price here. Teen Invisalign and Braces are going to cost you much more than a simple bonding but I would suggest Teen Invisalign is the route to go! Hope this helps
You live in a great time! Lots of choices. If you don't want traditional braces, Invisalign clear braces, which are like clear removable retainers, may be an option if your teeth are developed enough. Also Bonding white composite filling material to the sides of your teeth may give you everything you want very quickly. There are also veneers but they might require shaving teeth and I would not recommend that due to your young age. Only do things that don't damage your teeth. Talk to your dentist. If he is good, he won't steer you wrong. Best of Luck!
You can do Invisalign: a set of clear aligners. Aligners are clear trays made in shape of your teeth and are completely transperent. You wear them 24/7, and you take them off - yes, you can do it on your own in 2 seconds - only for the food or drink. You dentist changes your aligner every two weeks checking the progress. If you have no other problem besides that gap, treatment will be pretty short - maybe 2-3 months. Before starting treatment you will actually see a movie of how your teeth move with each aligner and what they are going to look like in the end.
It is hard to answer your questions without either a photo or more information but other than braces you have a couple of options to close a space - bonding ( filing material placed between your teeth), veneers ( which at 14 I would not do at this point) and then invisalign teen. All should be options for you to choose from. Consult a local dentist to see what you have to choose from.
It is likely that the orthodontist or dentist simply could not see all of the "glue" when taking brackets off. Perhaps a simple polish is all that is needed. MI paste is great for the white decalcifications, and a composite filling can be a great "last resort".
Overbite refers to how much the teeth overlap, overjet refers to how far in front of the lower teeth, the upper teeth are positioned. From your description it sounds to me like you might be talking about overjet. If I understand you correctly, you are talking about creating some...
Inter-Proximal Reduction (IPR) is a method of gaining space in order to re-align teeth. This is sometimes done due to tooth size discrepancies or large amounts of crowding. The IPR is always limited to be no more that a quarter to half a millimeter of enamel and should never extent...
