Midline Diastema
What Should You Understand About Closing Teeth Gaps?
Spaces or gaps between your teeth, medically termed as diastema, are a common dental issue. These gaps often occur between the two front upper teeth and can affect your beautiful, natural smile. But there’s good news – numerous cosmetic dentistry solutions can rectify this and restore your radiant smile.
Diastema can occur due to several reasons like abnormal spacing between the teeth, smaller teeth size, or absence of teeth. Certain habits, such as thumb sucking, can also result in teeth gaps by causing the front teeth to move forward. No matter the cause, you always have the option to undergo corrective orthodontic treatment using braces, composite bonding, porcelain veneers, or crowns.
Substantial gaps resulting from missing teeth can be filled using dental implants or bridgework. The closure of these gaps can not only improve your bite and functionality but also enable more effective brushing and flossing, leading to healthier teeth and a confident smile.
Treatment Options to Close Teeth Gaps
Treatment choice can depend on several factors like the reason for the gap, its size, the location, the condition of neighboring teeth, your personal needs, and your budget. You can opt for restorative treatments like composite bonding, porcelain veneers, or crowns for smaller gaps, and dental implants or teeth-supported bridges for gaps due to missing teeth.
Each treatment can be tailored according to your specific situation and requirement.
Dental bonding is used to shape the tooth ideally and fill the spaces. Resin material, color-matched to the patient’s natural teeth with the help of an amalgamator, fills the gap. This procedure is usually completed in a single appointment.
Porcelain Veneers
Crowns or veneers are effective in closing larger gaps and restoring your natural smile. The type of veneers we use depends on the teeth’s condition and the size of the spaces. We typically choose stain-resistant, robust, and long-lasting porcelain veneers over Composite veneers.
Orthodontic Options
Modern orthodontics can reposition teeth that are misaligned or overcrowded, as well as close gaps and correct bite disorders. Various effective options for fixing gaps in teeth include:
- Hidden Braces
- Traditional braces
- ‘Invisible’ braces
- Clear aligners
- Removable aligners
