Dental problem (braces and capping)
Hi,
I want to put braces for the front 2 uper teeths.
And the front 2 uper teeths have little space between them and it looks weired.
Capping was done few years back on those 2 uper front teeth. But still little space is left.

Visit an Orthodontist for evaluation. Firstly, you need to determine why the space is there between your front 2 teeth. Is it due to a tooth size problem or an interposing frenum or due to bad bite where bottom front teeth constantly hit against the upper front teeth everytime you chew.
Orthodontist will evaluate the cause of the space and plan the treatment accordingly.
Doing crowns to close the gap is not a good option as you lose naturality of dentition and have disproportionate teeth sizes.
