My daughter had a gap between her front teeth. Beyond that her teeth appeared straight. I had seen a number of orthodontists and they all recommended a full set of braces she would need to wear for 1-2 years. In addition, to the excessive cost of braces I was just amazed that this would be necessary for this small gap (sort of like David Letterman). I then took her to Dr. Zucchero for another opinion and he recommended a different procedure that covered the gap. We decided to go that route and the work is beautiful! The work was done within one hour, it has lasted now for three years and it saved us thousands of dollars..not to mention my daughter is very happy! Very thrilled with this dentist!
