Missing lateral incisors leaving big gaps either side of my mouth, what are my options?

Hi there Anoop wondering if you could help me out – I have missing lateral incisors therefore leaving gaps either side of my front teeth. My dentist advised that i get a brace to push them together closing the gaps then get crowns fitted, the brace is a bit expensive for me and i can’t see my credit history allowing treatment on finance. I was wondering if there was a cheaper option? He said bonding treatments were not an option due to the shape and position of the teeth. Please tell me there is light at the end of a dark low confidence tunnel. Look forward to hearing from you!

My lateral incisors cross over to my front teeth, will a brace sort this out?

Hi Darsh, I have a slight problem with my top row of teeth. All the back ones are fine, but my lateral incisors cross over to my front two teeth. This obviously doesn’t look great but cleaning is also another problem I have, with it being very hard to get in between the gap and a build up of plaque starts to develop. I should of has this problem sorted when I was younger but I never bothered too. I really want to get it sorted now, is there a brace that will sort this problem out? They overlap quite a bit so I didn’t know if this problem could be fixed with a brace or if I would have to have them taken out and replaced with dentures? Look forward to hearing from you!
