\"womanYou\u2019re naturally a jovial person, so why don\u2019t you smile<\/a> more? It\u2019s because you\u2019re uncomfortable with the space between your teeth. If only there was a way to address it, you\u2019d be beaming from ear-to-ear. Your local orthodontist says there are several methods available, ranging from cosmetic bonding to traditional orthodontics. As you read on, you\u2019ll learn about the different options.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cosmetic Bonding<\/h2>\n

When in comes to aesthetic procedures, cosmetic (dental) bonding offers the least invasive method of masking small spaces between your teeth. Your dentist will use a compound resin material that adheres to your teeth using a heat-treated bonding process to mask imperfections in the front-facing area, leaving you with a beautiful new smile.<\/p>\n

Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n

Another option is the porcelain veneers method. Using thin, tooth-colored, porcelain shells that fit right over your teeth, your smile flaws will be a thing of the past. The process includes the following steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Preparation <\/strong>\u2013 The process begins with your cosmetic dentist in Weatherford removing a small amount of enamel so that your veneers will fit properly.<\/li>\n
  • Bite Impressions <\/strong>\u2013 Next, bite impressions are taken that will ensure that the porcelain veneers accommodate your specific smile needs.<\/li>\n
  • Fabrication <\/strong>\u2013 The information gathered from your dentist will be sent to a lab where professionals will fabricate your permanent fixtures. While you wait, you\u2019ll be fitted with a set of temporary veneers that will protect your teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Once their ready, you\u2019ll return to be fitted and leave the office with the smile of your dreams.<\/p>\n

    Crown Restoration<\/h2>\n

    Considered to be a more restorative procedure, the dental crown closes a gap that\u2019s caused by a missing tooth. This method of restoration merges the worlds of cosmetic and restorative dentistry. The process starts with your dentist capturing images of your teeth and taking bite impressions that will be used to create your permanent fixture.<\/p>\n

    Orthodontics<\/h2>\n

    We\u2019ve covered the purely cosmetic and restorative methods, so now let\u2019s take a look at some orthodontic approaches to closing spaces. The following methods are offered:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Traditional Braces <\/strong>\u2013 While newer alternatives for orthodontics are gaining popularity, your local dentist still offers patients the option of closing gaps to improve functionality and the appearance of their smiles with traditional braces. They still remain the gold standard and are the best choice for more complex issues.<\/li>\n
    • Invisalign <\/strong>\u2013 For patients in need of less complex correction, your dentist offers the Invisalign method. The clear, plastic trays provide for a more discreet treatment process and typically deliver results faster than traditional braces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      What\u2019s Best for You?<\/h2>\n

      The best way to proceed is to reach out to your orthodontist to determine which route is better for closing the spaces between your teeth. By receiving expert advice, you can be sure that whatever route is taken, will the best for achieving your goals of having a functional and beautiful smile.<\/p>\n\n\n
