Visitor asks:
Hello!
I have a gap between my two upper front teeth and also between the canine and first premolar, also in the upper jaw. I would like to know whether this can be corrected or closed without fixed braces. My orthodontist told me that only that option is suitable. Since I would not like to wear fixed braces at the age of 21, I am wondering whether there are other possibilities.
Thank you very much for your answer and kind regards,
Christine Ereiz

Dear Sir/Madam!
The simplest way to correct the aesthetic problem you describe is to build up the dental crowns with composite material. The solution is quick, simple and non-radical (because the hard dental tissues are not damaged), but it may be less durable than aesthetic veneers or crowns. Fabricating these requires grinding the tooth enamel (which is an irreversible event); the procedure is somewhat more expensive, but durable and provides excellent aesthetic results. The textbook procedure is to move the teeth with fixed braces, which your colleague has already explained to you.
Have a nice day!
