Think of bonding as adding a little width to the teeth rather than physically moving them. Your dentist chooses a resin shade that matches your natural teeth. The tooth surface is prepared so the material sticks, and then the resin is carefully built up along the edges facing the gap.<\/p>\r\n
A larger gap is different. Moving the teeth with braces or clear aligners may give you a better shape and bite instead of simply making the teeth wider.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Small gap, healthy teeth. That’s where bonding makes the most sense, especially if you want a noticeable change without moving the teeth.<\/p>\r\n

Absolutely, when the gap is small and the teeth are healthy, dental bonding can be an excellent fix. It is quick. It is relatively conservative. And when the shape is done well, the result can look completely natural.<\/p>\r\n
The important part is figuring out why the gap is there before covering it. If you’re dealing with a simple space you’ve always had, bonding could be exactly the low-key change you’re after.
