For Teeth Gap, Its called ad diastema.Some people get braces, which move the teeth together. If your lateral incisors are too small, your dentist may suggest widening them using crowns, veneers or bonding. If a large labial frenum is causing the gap, the frenum can be reduced through surgery called a frenectomy. If a frenectomy is done in a younger child, the space may close on its own. If it is done in an older child or an adult, the space may need to be closed with braces. If the gap is caused by periodontal disease, then periodontal treatment by a dentist is necessary. When gum health is restored, in many cases braces can be used to move the teeth into place. A splint can be used to attach teeth to other teeth and prevent them from moving again. In some cases, a bridge will be required to close the spaces.For any more query or treatment visit us today.Dr Ratnika Agarwal , Dental Surgeon/Owner of Smile Up Dental Care & Implant Center ,PUNE.We offer Dental and cosmetic treatments for all age group.Please consult our team of experienced doctors to help you with cost and period for the treatment suitable.You can book appointment with us online on Just dial and Practo or call us directly.

If he gap is not too wide you can also skip the lengthy braces and do a cosmetic procedure called Diastema closure with composite filling material . If your other teeth are well aligned and no other issues to put braces to close the gap will be too cumbersome . You could consider removable invisible braces ( Aligners ) , or diastema closure with conspires . But make sure your dentist is a qualified cosmetic dentist who has done similar cases and has photos to show you of before and after cases
Next Steps
See a cosmetic dentist / orthodontist
Health Tips
Make sure cosmetic dentist has properly qualified and has documented photographic evidence of having done similar cases before
