What can I do about my big front teeth?
Your dentist may be able to reduce the size of the front teeth by removing tooth material, but you MAY end up with sensitivity if they need to remove more than enamel. Alternatively you can also look into building up adjacent teeth so they look in harmony. This will not fix the overbite issue but at least it may make the two front teeth look less prominent.
Can a dentist reduce the size of my front teeth?
I think it might be worth you going to talk to your dentist about your concerns. They may be able to refer you to an orthodontist. Often teeth look too big because of their positioning in the mouth. It may be the case that you have a narrow arch meaning only your front teeth show when you smile, so in widening your arch you may find that you don't notice your front teeth as much. It may also be the case that your lateral incisors (the teeth between your front ones and canines) are small due to under eruption, genetically small teeth, or that they are baby teeth. I won't recommend filing the teeth down, crowing them or doing anything so invasive since your still young at 17. It is really difficult to offer advice without seeing your teeth, bone structure and overall face shape all of which dictate how our teeth appear when we smile :-) I hope your dentist can offer you some good advice and keep on smiling!
Best way to close gap in two front teeth?
Orthodontics is usually the preferred method to handle this problem. If you do not want to go this route, the placing a composite bonded filling on each tooth forming the gap is the least expensive and most conservative way to go. This will make each tooth slightly wider. It is a reversible procedure as no tooth is ground down. Life expectancy is about 5 years.
How can I fix a gap in my two front teeth?
Hi ,Before I suggest you the available treatment options, let me explain to you why the gaps exist in the first place as they would have immense impact on the outcome of your treatment.Gaps between teeth could be becauseRetained Deciduous (milk) teethSmall sized teethHigh labial attachment (tissue between teeth )Thumb SuckingTongue thrustingNow, depending on the cause, the treatments options would vary/change.Small gap - Anterior composite fillings - Cheap and easy to do. Don't last too long as there is lack of retention.Medium sized gap -Braces - Options of Metal, Ceramic or the most expensive Clear braces. Long standing treatment but if done well, the results are outstanding and long term.Crowns - Caps put on teeth to mimic adjacent teeth. Affordable and works well too. Needs replacement after couple of years.Veneers - Work well and are expensive. Unlike crowns, they do to cover the whole tooth, just the labial (front) portions. Mimic natural teeth in looks however need constant care and replacement if they come off. Celebs mostly opt for these.Large sized gap - Orthodontic treatment (Braces)In case the gap is because of labial attachment, it requires a small procedure to remove the gum attachment. This needs to be done even before starting the braces as it is a major factor for relapse.Hope this helps. Keep smiling though !!!

There is a big gap between my front teeth, and I am 25 now. What is the procedure to reduce the gap?
Proper advice can only be given after examination at a clinic but assuming your tooth has not suffered any trauma or fractured there are a few ways to get rid of diestema (gap between front teeth).ORTHODONTICS: If the gap is really big as you say ORTHODONTICs would be a good option if they are proclined forwards that is the treatment for you pros: It will perfectly align your teeth, total correction of any mal aligned teeth cons: reqires time, patience, & bit more expensive then other options.Composite Restoration: Although this treatment can only be adviced after a visit to a dentist and can decided after considering certain factors this is an option for diestema treatment3. Vaneers: only if the gap is not too big one can think about it.In conclusion my advice would be visit a dentist. He can give you all the treatment options that would help you in the best possible way.
