Hi everyone,

I'm considering orthodontic treatment because I have gaps next to my canines (I want to add the photo of my teeth but this community doesn’t accept to do 🙏**🏻) . I'm not a big fan of how it looks when I smile**.

However, I'm really worried that braces might change my overall facial structure or lip shape. I like my current look and I don't want a drastic change in my appearance.

1. do you think I need full braces, or could dental bonding (resin) be enough to fill the gaps?

2. For those who had similar gaps, did your face shape change much after treatment?

3. I'm also planning to get teeth whitening—should I do that before or after addressing the gaps?

I'd love to hear your thoughts or experiences! Thanks in advance.
