Principle

Porcelain or resin shells are bonded to the tooth surface to cover the gap.

Metal brackets apply controlled force to move teeth and close the gap.

Resin material is applied into the gap, shaped, and polished.

Teeth are reduced in size and fitted with porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns to close the gap.

A custom-made cap resembling the natural tooth shape is placed over the affected tooth.
