FAQ

Your Guide to Treating Teeth Spacing and Diastema

What is diastema, and what causes gaps between teeth?
Diastema specifically refers to the space or gap between any two teeth, though it is most common between the two upper front teeth. Gaps can be caused by various factors, including a discrepancy between the size of the jawbone and the size of the teeth, missing teeth, thumb sucking, or an oversized labial frenum (the tissue attaching the upper lip to the gum).
Are gaps between teeth purely a cosmetic issue?
While many patients seek treatment for cosmetic reasons, gaps can also lead to oral health issues. Significant spaces can make it easier for food particles to get lodged between teeth, increasing the risk of gum disease (periodontitis). In some cases, poor alignment can also contribute to bite problems or difficulties with speech.
What are the common treatment options for closing minor gaps?
For minor or small gaps, non-orthodontic options are often effective. These include Dental Bonding, where a tooth-colored resin is applied and shaped to close the space, and the use of Porcelain Veneers, which are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front surface of the teeth to create a consistent, gap-free appearance.
When is orthodontic treatment (Braces/Invisalign) necessary for treating spacing?
Orthodontic treatment, such as traditional braces or clear Invisalign aligners, is typically recommended when the gaps are significant, or when the spacing issues are related to underlying bite problems (malocclusion). Orthodontics provides a comprehensive solution by moving the entire tooth root to establish a stable and ideal tooth alignment.
How long does it take to close the gaps using treatments like Invisalign?
The treatment time depends entirely on the severity of the gap and the chosen method. For simple bonding or veneers, the result is achieved in one or two appointments. For orthodontic treatment like Invisalign, closing the gaps can take anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the extent of tooth movement required, as determined by your Deekshu Dental doctor.
