What should I do if there is a large gap between the front teeth?

Mondo Health Updated on 2024-01-31

If you don't think it's going to have a big impact on your aesthetics, take care of your mouth every day to avoid food debris stuffing between your teeth and causing tooth decay.

If you feel that this gap between your teeth is really affecting your appearance and daily life, you can use these 2 ways to close the gap between your front teeth:

1. Orthodontics

If the oral condition is confirmed by taking a radiograph, orthodontics can be performed to close the gap between the teeth. If the overall occlusion of your teeth is not very poor and the correction is not difficult, the gap can be closed in half a year at the earliest.

The disadvantage of this kind of closing the gap between the teeth is that it takes a little longer.

2. Dental veneers

By attaching a thin layer of dental material to the tooth surface, it is possible to close the gap between the front teeth. Generally, I recommend that you try to choose all-porcelain veneers, which are more biocompatible and less prone to allergies, and have better permeability, so they will look more natural and beautiful.

If you don't have a very small native tooth, you may need to remove some tooth tissue.
