Diastema Fixure
Hi,
I have diastema, it's genetic from my mother's side, I would like to know if there are my options to fix it with approximate cost involved with fixing it.
Hello sir,
First find out the reason for diastema,
1. If it is due to frenal attachment, then it should be removed and diastema can be closed by braces.
2. If it is very severe go for braces
3. If it is mild then you have following options
- composites filling
- veneers or laminates
- Crowns ( Zirconia types)

Depending on the size of diastema the treatment will be decided.
Small diastema can be covered with composite filling.
Bigger diastema should be covered by orthodontic treatment (braces).
If the reason of midline diastema is high frenum attachment, the the frenum must also be relieved.
