Space between teeth can be corrected by three ways.
1. Braces : we close the space by using wires and braces.it takes minimum 3 months to close the space.
Pros : your natural teeth are not cut
Cons : treatment duration
2. Composite laminates : it's a bonding material which is used to close the space.
Pros : cost effective and less time consuming
Cons: longevity is relatively less
3. Ceramic laminates/ caps : this involves grinding your natural tooth to create space for caps/ laminates.
Pros : superior esthetics and less time consuming
Cons : natural teeth might be cut
Next Steps
Visit a dentist to evaluate the space and what treatment best suits you.
