A diastema (the gap between the upper front teeth) is one of the most personal calls in cosmetic dentistry. Some people keep it as a signature; some have wanted it gone for years. Both are legitimate, which is why previewing the closed version is so useful.
Closing it is usually done with composite bonding added to the adjacent edges of the two teeth (single visit, no drilling), with veneers, or with short aligner treatment when the gap is part of a wider spacing pattern.
The honest limits of this preview
Small gaps only. Large spacing needs orthodontics, not bonding. A preview can't see bone, bite, gum health or anything beneath the surface. Only a clinical exam can. Treat it as a conversation starter for your dentist, never as a promised result.
Worth asking your dentist
- Is bonding enough for my gap, or is it wide enough that aligners make more sense?
- Will closing it leave my front teeth looking too wide, and how do you prevent that?
- Gaps can reopen. Does mine have a cause (like a low frenum) we should address?
