Orthodontic treatment
Braces or clear aligner planning may move teeth to close suitable spaces.
Explore orthodontic treatment →Compare moving teeth with cosmetic changes for selected spaces.
A gap can reflect tooth position, tooth size, or a missing tooth. The cause and your bite matter when choosing a treatment. A new or widening space should be examined rather than simply covered.
We evaluate the teeth and gum support and discuss whether closing the space would affect your bite.
