Front teeth gap
I've a front teeth gap and regarding this I went to a dentist today. He suggested I should opt out for braces if I want a permanent solution but if I am not comfortable with the cost and other disadvantages of wearing braces I may get a filler as well. Now he said there's no guarantee with fillers it may stay for a while or may not be fruitful for a long period of time. What should I do? Are fillers that uncertain? I don't wanna put that much money in wearing braces as of now so I want a temporary long lasting solution kindly advice.

Dear patient, you have midline diastema. It can be corrected orthodontically with braces or aligners or can be covered with veneers. Orthodontic treatment corrects the underlying cause of the problem. Meanwhile veneers will provide good aesthetics but might not be durable as the underlying cause would still exist.
You might need to change your veneers frequently .
Health Tips
Temporary solution would be opting for veneers

Dear Patient, Braces or Aligners would be a better option for you since you are just 24. They give long lasting results and are the best options for your treatment.
I would suggest to get yourself consulted by an orthodontist and ask them about the various options for conventional braces and aligners.
Also, it is very certain that you wont regret investing your money in this treatment.
Good luck ! Keep smiling.

Temporary but Reliable: If youâre looking for a long-lasting temporary solution, bonding can be a good option. While not as permanent as braces, high-quality bonding can last several years if properly cared for.
Cost-Effective: If youâre currently not ready to invest in braces, bonding allows you to improve the appearance of your smile without a significant financial commitment.
Future Braces: You could opt for bonding now and choose braces later if you find the fillers are not meeting your expectations over time.
