Question

Absolutely you can close that gap with bonding, either completely or almost completely.You could also pull those teeth together with a simple elastic approach and do bonding between laterals and centrals where discoloration of bonding over time is less of an issue.If you were a patient in my practice I probably would be discussing widening your maxillar with a DNA Appliance.  I prefer a fuller wider smile and better airway.  That said, you are adorable and I love your dimpls.Do you always have the  dark circles under your eyes?  This may be due to your arch form.Ira L Shapira DDSDiplomate, American Academy of Pain ManagementDiplomate, American Board of Dental Sleep MedicineFellow & Regent, International College of CranioMandibular OrthopedicsChair, Alliance of TMD OrganizationsThinkBetterLife.com

Looking at your pic (although not completely clear) , most probably you can close it with bonding. to be more sure , an evaluation and a measurement needs to be done for the front teeth. If bonding didn't close the gap completely, a combination of bonding and  braces (just the two front teeth) will do the trick.

Gary Braunstein, DDS · Answer

Yes, bonding is a great way to correct this space.  It is fast, easy, and much less expensive than porcelain veneers.  You just need to find a dentist that is experienced and can show you before and after photos of patients that they have done this procedure on.  The procedure, when done properly, should last from 3-7 years or longer.  With regular visits to the dentist, proper maintenance, and occasional touchups if a chip should occur, they can be made to last for 20 years or longer.  Go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!Dr. Gary Braunstein
