Gap between front teeth
I am working in USA and recently I had an appointment with dentist to check treatment options for diastema closure. Part of treatment , currently they are doing deep cleaning and scaling. Doctor went through the all treatment options for closing gap between my front teeth which is my major concern.
He told me veneers are not good option to me as they look like high canine tooth. He suggested me orthodontics as permanent solution which takes 9 months to correct the gap.
I am planning to travel India for marriage this year end , And looking for some temporary options to close the gaps. Today he did temporary bonding(tooth color filling etc) to close the gaps and removed it. He suggested me take bonding treatment for now and orthodontics after coming back to US.
I have attached before and after bonding photos. Can you please take a look and suggest me whether I can bonding for now or not? Also tell me whether bonding needs enamel removal on my tooth or not. Can bonding done in India ?
Hello sir....
Yes your dentist did tooth coloured composite filling ...It is only temporary solution.yes in India also composite bonding can be done....veneers is one of the failure treatment only...it needs removal of some enamel structure that causes sensitivity of your teeth and it needs frequent fixing with some light cured material...Orthodontic treatment option is only the permanent solution as your dentist said..?it may take 8_12 months to close the gap....
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist for further treatment and management

Hi....you certainly have all options available in India too. If done correctly even veneers also work. But certainly orthodontic treatment is better option. Even after orthodontic treatment you may have triangular gaps between teeth. Nothing can be permanent solution ....as all options may require maintenance and repair. Even after orthodontic treatment there can be relapse over period of time.
