Finding the cause
Your dentist considers the size and cause of the gap, gum health, tooth proportions and whether alignment or other treatment should come first.
Choosing an approach
Bonding may suit some small gaps, orthodontics can reposition teeth, and veneers are considered selectively. The most conservative suitable option is discussed openly.
Practical steps to remember
- Ask whether orthodontics could close the gap
- Discuss long-term maintenance
- Review a natural tooth-size and smile plan
