Peg Laterals

Peg Laterals

Peg laterals is a condition where the teeth on either side of the front upper teeth does not develop correctly. It is small and sometimes pointed, looking like a cone. There are many reasons why they develop this way, but genetics play a key role.

treatment options for peg laterals

There are several options that are available to alter the appearance of the teeth. We need to determine if there is enough space between the front teeth and the canine to accommodate a normal-sized tooth. If there is not sufficient space, then orthodontic options like braces or Invisalign may be considered prior to any treatment. Once enough space has been created, these can then be treated using Composite Resins, Porcelain Veneers or Crowns.
