In the case
that patients have a gap or space between the tooth
we can solve the problem by closing the gap by Direct
Composite or
Porcelain
Veneer.
Most of the case we use the Direct Composite because
this technique is very conservative. It is no need
to grind out any part of the teeth we just add the
Composite Resin Material on to the teeth to close
the gap. This technique can be done in one visit.
The disadvantage of this technique is Composite Resin
can worn by time.
We also close the gap by Porcelain Veneer. Porcelain
Veneer has a better property than Composite Resin.
It has more hardness enough to not to worn out by
time. It has a better strength and will look more
stable in esthetic than Composite Resin. But the disadvantage
of this technique is we have to grind out the labial
surface of the tooth which we will lost some of the
tooth material and it has to take 2 visit to do this.
So most patients choose to use the Direct Composite
to correct the spaces.
