Metal Mouth Message Board

When deciding upon my treatment, I could have gone in 2 ways... either getting headgear and having about a 3year treatment, or a 2yr treatment, no headgear, but being left with a smallish gap on one side.

I opted for the latter.

Is there any way this gap can be "filled in"? It will be about half a tooth's width across.

Thanks.

Hi! You could ask your ortho or your regular dentist about "bonding". I believe it's a material that bonds directly onto the teeth on either side. Sometimes this isn't feasible though because it will make your teeth look too large. I guess it depends on where the gap is?
