Teeth gap in front teeth
Hi,
I have a gap in my front teeth which happened recently . Do you suggest braces or teeth bonding ? . I don't want to wear braces as I will be getting married in 3 months time. I am looking for a quick solution.
Please advise a solution
Thanks,
Krishna.
If gap appeared recently it may b due to calculus deposition & gingivitis.. Is there any history of bleeding gums or bad breath?
Next Steps
visit dentist for proper reason of gapping..
1)if gap due to gingivitis go for scaling (sub & supragingival)
2) if midline diastema which was present from past go for composite restoration
3)if gap is due to high labial frenal attachment minor surgery by shifting d frenum should be done
Health Tips
