Question : missing lateral incisors. treatment options for life?
i have braces and my teeth were moved for two years to get spaces for bridge/implants in future, but is not finished and was being done by a gneral dentist and im going to the most profesional orthodontist in my state now.

my choices are to move the teeth back together or continue my post treatment.

I want to move my teeth together and make my canines replace the insicors. then i want to get cosmetic solutions to make my canine look like incisors. what do they do to make it look like incisors? Do they slap on a porclain veneer? do they use composite bonding?

Or i can continue and get a invasglin tray with fake teeth until implants. But come on now who wants that? im a sophomroe and i cant imagine going through high school like this. i also feel that it will never ever match(colors) because in smiles they will mismatch in color. I feel like i ****ed my life over by making my teeth spread out with empty spaces on my smile.

I want some pros and cons. i want to know what i should do. People say implants but most likely dont really understand my situation. Its a later solution and in the end they sometimes dont look great. But ion the otherhand if i mvoe my teeth together i stil have natural teeth and i can just get porclain veneers/reshaping/compostie resin to make my smile look great. What to do? Will moving it back together affect my face structure/jaw?

thanks ten poitns

I understand where you are coming from, i wouldnt want gaps in my teeth either.
i personally would prolly do the veneers or lumineers just because i wouldnt want the gaps.
i dont think they would put bonding on
but my two front teeth are just about complelty 100% fake because i fell nd chipped them on a metal chair, they put bonding stuff on my teeth nd you honestly cannot tell a difference between my real teeth nd fake, no one knows enless i tell them nd its not like they can notice, they have so many different color bonding material to match peoples teeth.

EDIT** but wouldnt it take a while to get your teeth back to no gaps?? it might be better just to keep the gaps nd have the implants because it might not take as long…
