What would be the best procedure for closing multiple gaps in my teeth? (Photo)

Question

I have about 10 gaps in my upper and lower teeth and I would like to know what would be the quickest and most affordable way to improve my smile. I hate talking to people close up and I hardly smile, do you think bonding would be a great idea? Or would you suggest something different?

Susan Hollinsworth, DDS (retired) · Answer

Orthodontics would probably be the best solution for you to close the gaps as much as possible considering your bite and tooth size. Bonding may then be needed to finalize the shape or closing of the gaps. Although braces may not be a quick fix, it's going to give you the best result.Now with Invisalign or even conventional orthodontics using porcelain brackets people will hardly notice that you are having braces done!  If you are hesitating because bonding would be faster, picture yourself with much wider teeth than you have now. They may look out of proportion to your mouth and may not really be the smile you are looking for. Investing in your future is worth it! Good luck

You also have a gummy smile, these type of treatment can be solved with porcelain veneers that way you can change the shape, size and even color. Probably you will need at least 8 or 10 upper and the same on lower, all those gaps will be closed, and the shape of those teeth, will look fantastic. this procedure can be done in 2 weeks.

Hi There! I too once had gaps in my front teeth.  I had to have braces.  Then some bonding to make it all look right.  And now the very best, cost affordable solution for you is Invisalign Therapy - clear braces that move your teeth through plastic trays.  These trays produce a small movement each time you put a new aligner (tray) on your teeth. All movement leads to a beautiful smile when the treatment is over.  I love Invisalign and recommend it to many patients.  You will spend between $4,500 - $6,5000 depending on where you live.  You can whiten your teeth also using the aligners as whitening trays.  Go to: invisalign . com and find a provider in your area.  Be sure and call several offices until you find one that feels right to you.  Invisalign is exciting since you can actually see your teeth move.  Good luck!
