Gap between teeth
I have atleast 5mm gap between my front teeth. It looks odd while smiling or talking. It is genetic. My mother too has this kind of gap. I was thinking of ceramic braces. How much time will it take for me to fill the gap and retention period to get over? And how costly would it be?
I have uploaded my photo for reference.
Thank you

Hello Sir!
According to the picture you sent, we can definitely correct your teeth. You can either go for Veneers, which will correct your smile in just a few days or you can go for orthodontic correction. Judging by the gap present in both upper and lower front teeth, it would require a treatment time of 18 - 24 months. The cost may vary from clinic to clinic. As for the retention period, depends on the retention you require. I would suggest you consult an orthodontist for a better idea of the treatment time and cost.
Hope our replies are of some help to you. Wishing you all the very best.

Namaskaram,
There are many advanced methods to treat gaps between teeth now a days. Orthodontic treatment usually takes 1 to 2 years but that depends on the treatment method you choose.
Take 2 to 3 opinions and then settle down for one. All the best!
