You have gaps in your smile that are more than just cosmetic annoyances. Food gets stuck between your teeth more easily, it\u2019s more difficult to chew properly, and you just know there\u2019s bacteria hiding in the convenient space. It makes perfect sense to be looking for solutions! Fortunately, a BioClear treatment<\/a> can indeed seal off these dental voids. Afterwards, you\u2019ll have a much more aesthetic and <\/em>functional grin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is BioClear?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Basically, BioClear is an alternative method for molding dental bonding over teeth. During a \u201cnormal\u201d bonding treatment, your dentist would simply sculpt the tooth-colored resin directly around your tooth to conceal cracks or fill in gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BioClear uses similar resin materials, but your dentist will start the process by putting a plastic mold (or \u201cmatrix\u201d) around your tooth. They\u2019ll then inject <\/em>the resin into the mold, which will hold the resin\u2019s shape as it cures. When the mold is removed, what you get is a completely transformed pearly white with perfectly smooth edges and a shiny surface!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Types of Gaps Can BioClear Fix?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to note that BioClear is best suited for mild to moderate dental gaps. As long as the black triangle between your teeth is relatively small, the resin can fill in the awkward space without making your pearly white look too large. For more significant gaps, you may need porcelain veneers or orthodontics \u2013 but be sure to check in with your dentist before jumping to conclusions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Should I Get BioClear Instead of Normal Bonding?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing wrong <\/em>with using normal bonding methods to fill your smile gaps. However, BioClear does have several unique advantages that can make it a worthwhile choice, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
