What Can You Do to Eliminate the Spaces in Your Teeth?

Spaces between teeth can negatively affect self esteem. Almost everyone wants a beautiful smile, so if it doesn't come naturally, people will search for ways to attain it. Braces have been a grueling process many go through in their teenage years to eliminate flaws in their smile. The process will align the teeth for a perfect smile. The downside is that the process can be painful, take years to achieve, and is an eyesore that makes people feel more self-conscious of their smile.

Instant orthodontics is exactly what it sounds like: an instant method of straightening and eliminating spaces in teeth. Although it uses to term orthodontics in it's name, do not confuse it for any form of instant braces. It is simply a non invasive cosmetic surgery which will eliminate gap teeth or crooked teeth in as little as two dentist visits.

If you want to know how to fix gap teeth with instant orthodontics, the main procedures are crowns, veneers, or bonding. Crowns are a method of covering the entire tooth. Veneers, usually made out of porcelain, are a thin cover that is bonded to the front of the teeth. Bonding is a method of filling in the gaps with a tooth-like composite. All of these methods work when trying to instantly eliminate spaces in teeth.

The process for each is usually very simple. A patient will discuss with their dentist about the problem areas to determine the right method for them. Veneers are the most commonly used method of instant orthodontics, as they can quickly eliminate problems with the entire smile.

If veneers are the right choice, there is a simple procedure used. the dentist will take a mold of your mouth, so they can understand the shape needed. This is the first step to a custom fitted porcelain veneer. A model made from the mold will allow them to create temporary veneers. If the size of the temporary veneers work well for the patient, then the sizing is approved and sent to a ceramist to be fabricated.

When the custom veneers are received, the patient will come in for the first step of the fitting. The enamel of the teeth will be shaved straight so the veneers can fit smoothly for the intended smile. A temporary set of veneers is used so the patient can preview their beautiful smile until the final visit.

On the final visit, the patient will be able to use their new smile for the first time. The permanent veneers will be fitted to the teeth and bonded with state of the art dental adhesive. The stages are now complete, and thanks to instant orthodontics the patient can leave smiling brightly and confidently.
