I am 33 years old. My upper front teeth have a gap And upper 4 teeth are slightly forward too. I want a quick solution to fill the gap. My dentist has suggested a bridge, which will require extraction of 2 of my front teeth and this is making me very skeptical. Please suggest if this is the best option for me. Is there any other quick way of filling the gap?

Answer: Quickest long term solution to fill 4mm gap between front teeth?
Expansion with DNA appliances should be able to correct the jaw size discrepancy. After that then the teeth can be restored so they should last longer.
Its advisable to do final/cosmetic bonding after braces treatment. in aligners also sometimes attachments are required for precise movement so in such condition it will damage bonding surface.
There is no requirement to having your teeth cleaned more frequently if you have "bondings." The recommendation is to have a regular cleaning every 6 months unless you have periodontal disease and require more frequent cleanings like periodontal maintenance.
