Can teeth bands work if you have a very large gap in your front teeth about 6mm or a quarter inch or is a bridge or veneers the only way to go?

Answer 1

Sometimes when the space between the two central incisors is too large, orthodontics (braces) may be recommended. This usually will take approximately 18-36 months depending on the severity of the bite. If considering crowns, veneers on bonded composite material on the two front teeth, you must consider the space. These restorations may make the teeth look too large and it may make the assymetry of the entire six front look abnormal. The best thing to do is trust the dentist. Sometimes the wait on orthodontics is worth it. J. Holsworth, RDH

Answer 2

Oh, you know. If your teeth are black and healthy, then you have a good chance of getting some pretty positive results.

Teeth effect bands from www.teethgap.com really work. You stretch the teeth effect band when you put it around your teeth. Since the band is stretched out it pulls the teeth towards one another because it wants to contract. This pull will take place no matter the size of your gap. The part of the mouth that receives the most force while wearing the band is the gap between the teeth. Therefore, as your teeth come together it pushes on the gum between your teeth causing it to contract. No new gaps should appear.
