i had a gap in my front teeth that a wonderful dentist fixed for me eons ago. he used acrylic filling and just added a little to each tooth to fill in the gap. as the acrylic fillings improve the time between sprucing the fillings diminishes.
it is a very inexpensive (compared to braces) solution. when i got older and had a bit more money i went to a dentist and he made a retainer, just the retainer, for my front teeth pulling them a bit more in alignment. he told me teeth move easily, which they do. just kept going back every month for awhile as he reworked the retainer...in a few months i had the smile i always wanted. again, cost was minimal. you just need to find a dentist that still knows how to take care of teeth in a simple manner. they are out there, you just have to look. a rose...
