Is there a way to fill a gap between teeth without using braces?

Doctor's Answer

Hi,

As for your question on whether you can have any fillings to fill up the gaps, we have to establish the following basic points.

1) How large are the gaps?

2) Are the gaps between the front teeth or at the back?

3) Are they caused by missing teeth or just small general spacings between your teeth?

There are numerous ways to fill up the gaps between the teeth eg) with prostheses like implants dentures and bridges. Or normal fillings/ veneers/ crowns to mask the gaps.

The final treatment choice would require a proper examination and more complex form of treatment planning with the dentist who would then assess your needs and concerns and try to manage your expectations accordingly. Sometimes braces MAY still be needed in cases.
