It\u2019s not uncommon to have a gap between the top two &#8212; but we know it\u2019s still something you would probably like to fix. Fortunately, your options in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.celebrationfamilydentaltx.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cosmetic dentistry<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are better than ever before. In this week\u2019s blog, we present three methods for fixing that gap: direct bonding, dental veneers, and Invisalign in Carrollton.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Invisalign: A Clear Orthodontic Solution<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If the gap between your front teeth is accompanied by more significant dental misalignments, like overbite, underbite, or crossbite, we may recommend orthodontic treatment &#8212; but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean metal braces! Invisalign is a clear aligner system that repositions the teeth using a series of sturdy plastic aligners. This is a wonderful option for adults who could benefit from orthodontics but do not wish to wear fixed metal brackets for a year or more. Invisalign is a convenient, subtle, and comfortable alternative to conventional braces. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Direct Bonding Completed in a Single Visit<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sometimes, a slight gap between the front teeth can be corrected with a less time-consuming treatment known as direct bonding. A composite resin made of smooth glass and plastic particles is placed on the side of the tooth and artistically sculpted to fill in the gap between. Just about everybody can undergo this non-invasive procedure &#8212; and it is also the most affordable option in cosmetic dentistry. Direct bonding is completed in one visit to your dentist\u2019s office and can last for years to come. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Porcelain Veneers Offer a Dramatic Transformation <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Patients who are willing to invest a little more financially in their smile may be interested in porcelain veneers in Carrollton. This treatment can fix a gap in the smile pretty simply &#8212; just by covering it up. Veneers are thin porcelain restorations that are affixed directly onto the front side of the teeth that show when you smile, and they are customized to match the precise size, shape, and shade that will suit your facial features best. With proper care and maintenance, dental veneers can be expected to mask the appearance of that gap between your front teeth for up to 20 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Which One Is Right for You?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now that you know your options for correcting a gap between the front teeth, we invite you to schedule an appointment with your cosmetic dentist at Celebration Family Dental to learn more about which one may be best for your smile. During a consultation, we will examine your teeth and discuss your smile goals to put together a treatment plan that is suited just for you.
