If food tends to get stuck between your teeth because of gaps, you may need to straighten your alignment. Food between the teeth is a major cause of cavities and decay, so closing in those gaps can actually improve the health of your teeth. Invisalign offers a discreet way to straighten the teeth, and it is perfect for all ages.
If you have dental crowns protecting your teeth, it is possible they don’t fit snugly and this is the source of the problem. If so, we can rectify the problem, offering improved crowns that won’t allow food to stick between the teeth. This will protect your teeth from future damage. Should your teeth move away after treating them with an orthodontic appliance, a crown might also be recommended to fill in spaces.
If your front teeth have small gaps, the easiest way to treat them may be dental bonding. Bonding uses composite resin to fill in spaces and to reshape the teeth. The resin material is then cured with a special light to harden, offering long-lasting protection. This will improve the appearance of your smile and will also protect against food from lodging between the teeth.
