Best treatment for closing gaps is orthodontic treatment (braces)
Other treatments have a limited life and are invasive.
Visit dentist for clinical examination and x ray.
Best treatment for tooth spacing is orthodontic treatment..
And if u want to avoid yellowish color and if spacing is localized to some particular teeth u can go for crown placement
Pros and cons of both
Ortho-pros
1. Teeth moves in a natural way by bone formation and resorption
2. Spaces will be closed with ur own natural tooth moving inside
Ortho-cons
1. While placing brackets we will be doing a process called etching which will remove few microns of enamel layer
2. Also while removing braces we will be taking off excess cements from the tooth surface which can again remove some layer of enamel
3. Because of these if u get exposed to dentin it may cause sensitivity and yellowish color of tooth
Yellowish color is because the color of enamel is almost white but the color of dentin is yellow.. So when shade of dentin or full dentin if getting exposed means there are chances to get yellow color
4. Time taking treatment
5. Retainer is must wear.. Otherwise teeth will come back to former positions
Crown-pros
1. Fast treatment
2. Can avoid yellowish color of teeth
3. No need of retainer
Crown-cons
1. Vital teeth should be reduced upto 2mm
2. May need to do intentional rct
3. Teeth may appear bigger
Next Steps
Visit a near by dentist and they should check clinically once
According to spacing they will do exact treatment plan
