How do i close the THREE gaps in my teeth?

Question by Rebecca Byrne: How do i close the THREE gaps in my teeth?
I have three terrible gaps between my first four front teeth and i hate them so much. I'm really self conscious over it and it makes me feel really upset because whenever i smile or laugh, i automatically close my mouth and stop, or place my hand over my mouth so no one can see. It's really affecting me because i don't go out with my friends much because i'm nervous of them staring at my teeth and I hate when people do that. They make me feel really depressed.

I'm 15 and i've had the three quite large gaps in my teeth for years. I can't get braces due to the fact i've only lost 11 teeth because of my mam's genes (she had to have all her teeth surgically removed at 16 since she'd only lost about 6 teeth) and I only got my first tooth at 2.

I live in Ireland so i can't get these 'invisaline' things i keep hearing about. (I don't know how its spelled) because they are not over here. I can't get teeth bands since i have multiple gaps and it was recommend not to use them with multiple gaps.

I'd really like some advice on how to get these closed. My mam won't bring me to get my teeth checked by the dentist because she'd have to book a private viewing and she said shes not doing that, no matter how much ive begged her.

Please, please help. I hate my teeth so much and the gaps are too big to close when all my teeth fall out. A tooth has not been lose for almost two years. I hate when every stares at me and i hate the fact i can't smile or laugh without someone looking at me or laughing. Even my dad called me "Gappy" the other day and i almost broke down crying. I can't deal with them.

Please help :)
Thank you :)

You can try dental bonding, they use a tiny sting to close the gaps
