Braces can be put in place to
apply pressure to the teeth and to close the gap safely. Many people
aren't sure if Invisalign can close missing tooth gaps, and the answer
is yes. Traditional braces can be used, but if you want something that
isn't as noticeable,
clear aligners would be a great
option. Just like braces, they will push the teeth together slowly until
the gap is closed.

Depending on how small the gap is,
veneers are also a way to close
the gap. Veneers aren't just used to change the colour of teeth, they
can also be used to change the shape and size of the teeth. The veneers
can be designed in such a way that addresses the diastema and gives the
appearance of a closed gap.
Dental bonding is a method by
which a composite in the same colour as your teeth is used to fill in
the gap. The composite won't be easily noticeable or visible.
Ultimately, making the right decision for closing the gap in your teeth
comes down to whether you want a
long-term solution like braces,
or if you want an instant fix.
Figure out what would help you reach the goals you have for your teeth,
and then discuss with your dentist to map the way forward.
