I want to get a dental surgery to close a gap in my teeth, how much will it cost?

Ive had braces... so my teeth are very straight. However. I have a gap between two of my teeth. I really do not want braces again. And I've see on on the makeover shows these dental surgeries where the move and shift the teeth around. I was curious to how much this would cost. Thanks

Both of the other answers are correct.


It may be possible to use a retainer (slower and would likely require more impressions).


Another option would be bonding - if the gap is not large, or veneers. But having veneers attached can harm the surface fo the teeth.





I'm guessing but bonding would probably be less than a couple hundered and veneers probably at least a hundred more.
Reply:Typically braces are anywhere from $2000 to $4000. Since you have already had braces, you don't really need dental surgery, you just need to get a retainer. %26lt;--(much cheaper and safer)





What retainers do is slowly move your teeth together, even if there is a gap. That is usually the same price as braces, if not a little bit cheaper.





Good luck!

Also crowns or veneers might be an option and not nearly as invasive as oral surgery.
Reply:There is no surgery to "move and shift the teeth" that will not cause major damage later. Would you rather have straight teeth now and no teeth in a few years?


Also...if you move your teeth too much beyond they're natural place you can develop many other issues. Bone loss, mobility, recession, etc... Problems that Orthodontists do not tell people about while they're cashing the check.


Be wise and educate yourself...
