Although inner beauty is the most important thing about a person, it is typical for each of us in the world to be concerned about what our outer beauty is like as well. If you have a gap in your teeth, there may have been a time or two in your life when you have wondered what it would take to fix the gap. If this is the case, you are about to learn about several different options for cosmetic dentistry and fixing gap teeth!
If the space between your teeth is minimal, you may be able to correct the problem with braces. There are many different types and styles of braces to choose from these days, other than the traditional metal braces from years past.
If you are self conscious about the look of having braces in your mouth, you can now opt to have the braces put on the backs of your teeth. This makes it very difficult for anyone to see that you have braces even when you are talking. If you don’t tell them, they might never know!
The good news when it comes to braces is that there are now several options that are not as painful as traditional metal braces. One type is called Invisalign. Invisalign braces are not permanently adhered to the teeth, but rather adjust the teeth by using several different plastic mouthpieces that are created just for you by your orthodontist at a fitting.
If you are interested in another way to fix your teeth gap, there is also bonding. Bonding is the use of composite resin to sculpt artificial teeth. Bonding can last ten years or more, so this is a great option that will not have to be replaced for a decade. If you have a gap that is large in size, you may want to consider other options because the bonding may not look natural when it is finished. If the gap is not that large, bonding just may be the choice for you!
You may have heard of yet another popular option called porcelain veneers. When you get veneers applied to your teeth, the porcelain is made to give the front of your teeth a new surface. If you have ever seen someone with that gorgeous movie star smile, there is a good chance that they may have had porcelain veneers applied at some time in their life.
The porcelain can fill in any teeth gaps that you may have, and make your smile appear bright and natural. Depending on where you are located, and how much labor is required to fix your gap, you may pay approximately one thousand dollars per porcelain veneer.
Whatever option you choose for correcting the gap in your teeth, be sure to take some time to research both the pros and cons of each of the available procedures. Some options may be more expensive than others, but will require less time in order to fix the gap. Before you know it, you can have a lovely smile to show the world!
