A gap treatment that puts too much pressure on teeth or ignores existing sensitivity can leave you uncomfortable.<\/p>\r\n<p>So the first step is understanding what is causing the sensitivity. Sometimes the issue comes from worn enamel. Sometimes the gums have moved slightly. Your dentist checks what is happening before choosing a way to close the space.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Choosing a Gentle Treatment Approach<\/h3>\r\n<p>\u2022 Composite bonding is often the softer option for sensitive teeth because the dentist adds material to reshape the tooth without removing much enamel.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u2022 A small gap and a nervous patient, honestly, this is where bonding often shines because the appointment feels less intimidating.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u2022 Orthodontic treatment moves teeth slowly.

That doesn&#8217;t mean something went wrong. Your bite is adjusting, and your brain is getting used to the new shape.<\/p>\r\n<p>But care after treatment matters. Using a toothpaste made for sensitive teeth helps many people stay comfortable. A gentle brushing habit matters too.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Things Worth Remembering Before Treatment<\/h3>\r\n<p>\u2022 The consultation is where the real answers start, because your gap has a reason behind it.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u2022 Sensitive teeth are part of the conversation, not a side note that gets handled later.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u2022 A treatment that fits your teeth usually feels better long after the appointment ends.<\/p>\r\n<p>Visit our page on <a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.envysmile.co.uk\/composite-bonding-london\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"536\" data-end=\"569\"><strong data-start=\"537\" data-end=\"565\">composite bonding London<\/strong><\/a> to explore treatment options, costs, and expert advice.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Sensitive Teeth Need Extra Care During Diastema Treatment Sensitive teeth usually react because the inner layer of the tooth is easier to reach.
