Closing gaps between teeth in Dubai
A gap between the front teeth is one of the most common smile concerns. Some patients like it; others want it closed in a way that stays closed.
Gaps between teeth can be closed by moving the teeth with aligners or braces, or by adding tooth-coloured material with bonding or veneers. The best option depends on the size of the gap, the bite and whether teeth are missing.
Key facts
- Aligners or braces move teeth
- Bonding for small gaps
- Cause assessed first
- Retainer keeps the result
Orthodontic closure
Aligners or braces move teeth together and can correct the bite at the same time; a fixed retainer often keeps the gap closed.
Bonding or veneers
Small gaps can be closed in one visit by widening teeth with composite, provided the teeth do not become too wide.
Finding the cause
Missing teeth, small teeth, tongue habits or gum disease can create gaps and need to be addressed.
Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of removable, nearly invisible aligners made from a 3D scan. You can take them out to eat and clean, and progress is planned digitally from the first visit.

Can a gap be closed in one visit?
Small gaps can with composite bonding.
Will the gap come back after aligners?
Without retainers it can; a fixed retainer behind the teeth helps.
Are gaps a sign of gum disease?
New gaps in adults can be; have your gums checked.
Is it better to use aligners or bonding?
It depends on gap size, tooth width and bite; we compare both.
