Diastema: Without knowing how big your gap is, your occlusion, the size of your teeth, or the periodontal condition of those teeth, it is hard to advise you exactly what might be the best way to make your smile picture perfect. But without a doubt, it is not a DIY project so you'll need to see a local dentist for a consultation.

Choices: Depending on size of gap, shape and size of teeth, contact with adjacent and opposing teeth, and consistency and shape of supporting teeth and bone, Space can be closed by moving teeth, reshaping teeth, or both. Talk to your Dentist and an Orthodontic Specialist for best advice as to how to proceed
