Are ‘Gappy’ Teeth Forever?
Closing tooth gaps at Abbey Road Dental in St John’s Wood.
Gappy teeth are quite common, and could be one gap in between the front two teeth, or gaps between several teeth.
Many people embrace their gappy teeth as a unique aspect of their smile, and a smile can absolutely be entirely healthy with gaps in. However, some people aren’t happy with the gaps in their teeth and wish there was something they could do about it. Some people feel so self conscious about their tooth gaps that they cover their mouth when they talk, or avoid smiling completely.
For those people, gaps absolutely do not have to be forever if you don’t want them to be. There are plenty of options for those who want to remove the gaps in between their teeth. Lets take a look:
Treatments
There are lots of treatments that can close the gaps in between the teeth. Cosmetic bonding is a cost effective option which uses a dental resin and special light to improve the appearance of the teeth. It is not as hard wearing as options like veneers which can also correct gaps in the teeth. Larger gaps can be corrected using dental implants or bridgework. Combination treatments may be suggested by our team if your desired result would be achieved using different methods.
Orthodontics
Orthodontics are a really useful solution for gap correction. The treatment closes the gaps, as well as aligning the bite and correcting crooked or overcrowded teeth. Hidden braces, traditional braces, adult invisible braces, clear and removable aligners are all possible choices for gap correction. Here at Abbey Road Dental we can talk you through the different brace options if you are interested in orthodontics to deal with your unwanted gappy teeth.
Which Option Is Right For You?
We would love for you to come in to talk about the different options available for gappy teeth. We ensure a full dental examination is the priority for all our consultations so that we can assess your current oral health status, and deal with any medical issues before going ahead with cosmetic or restorative treatment. This will also help us understand which treatments are best for you and that will help you achieve your desired results. During the consultation we will also ask you questions about your expectations and why you would like the treatment done. We can answer any questions you have, and offer you treatment options with clear and transparent indications of price and timelines.
