A dentist can close a gap with what they call composites..composites are the porcelain caps that dentist puts on your teeth..
I was say go to a dentist firs, and ask about the composites..their good

Well girly that will depend on how severe is your gap, if it is a small gap it cn easily be resolved using veneers, or laminates.
But if it is a big gap, you even need more than simple orthodontic treatment, because sometimes there's a part above your gums called the frenum which is just above that gap. That part sometimes is so close to your gap that it may need partial removal so that the teeth can come together again without any interference.

even with braces it is hard to keep the gap closed. after they come off a retainer is necessary to keep the teeth close which gets really annoying and is uncomfortable to wear every night because the teeth are moving all the time. the dentist may be able to do a procedure that cuts the little piece of skin that goes from the front lip to the gums right at the middle where the gap is. if yours is prominent that may be one way to get the teeth closer together. it all depends on your mouth. once all of your teeth come in (wisdom teeth don't come until your 20s usually) they may move closer together on their own. if not you may just have to get used to the gap. i have one and don't like it most of the time but am used to it at this point.

The teeth bands do not work. They move back to the original place eventually when you take them off. Think about where that extra space will be too..that space will be between your other teeth if it is not your middle teeth. I would get bonding it runs about $300 - $600 per tooth. You also have to replace it again after a few years. It is much cheaper than braces and less painful and easier to maintain. I have had a friend who bonded his teeth and it looks nice.

I dont know how old you are, but my son had a huge gap between his front teeth; he could fit a coin in there. When he grew up, the gap disappeared. I thought it looked cute anyway.

um i looked on the website...and it doesnt look very convincing.
see how they used the computer to make a gap in the persons teeth?
i dont think it even gives you info about what the braces are.
maybe they are trying to rip you off.
i dont think it matters about the gap in your teeth
its an unusual thing and makes you different(the model lauren hutton famously didnt fix her teeth and still became americas first supermodel)
also braces arent that bad, i had them and they are off before you know it.

Talk to your dentist about bonding. The actor Zac Efron had a gap wide enough to drive a truck thru. Bonding can fill the gap in one visit, If your dentist can't do it., talk to a bonding specialist.

You can get a filler from the dentist called porcelain veneers. Another name for them are davinci veneers.
