The teeth gap, also called ‘Daistema,’ is a common problem faced by many people. Most people have healthy gums, alignment, and color, but a widened gap between two teeth restricts them from smiling freely. It has been observed that the gap is between too many teeth as well. But you do not need to worry about it. Diastema can be treated. Our dental clinic in Pune serves cosmetic dental surgeries to overcome such dental issues. 

Our dentist in Pune says that the gap between the tooth is unhealthy for oral hygiene. Moreover, not being treated on time can cause other dental issues that can lead to painful surgeries.

Causes of tooth gap:

There can be different reasons for diastema but below are the common causes due to which one may have teeth gaps.

• Genes can be a possible factor for having gapped teeth or a crooked jawline. If one of the parents has it, there are chances the child may have it too.
• A mismatch in the size of the jaw bone and the size of the teeth can cause a gap between teeth or an overlapping of teeth.
• An oversized labial frenum is a piece of tissue that stretches from inside your upper lip to your gums and can create a gap.
• Many kids have the habit of sucking their thumbs, pulling front teeth forward, and creating the gap.
• Gum-related diseases or any accident can lead to misalignment of teeth. 

According to our dentist in Pune, there are 3 types of cures for diastema.

Dental bonding: 

Dental bonding is the easiest, simplest, and cost-effective treatment completed within 1 or 2 visits to the dentist. The process involves applying tooth-colored composite resin to repair a decayed, chipped, fractured or discolored tooth. The material used looks like a natural tooth and is hardened with a special light which ‘bonds’ it to the tooth and closes the gap. 

Veneers: 

Dental veneers are thin but strong pieces of tooth-colored porcelain that are cemented on the surface of teeth. This process is difficult than dental bonding as it requires removing thin layers of enamel from the front tooth and make room for veneers, and the tooth is built in the lab. However, this process is a long-lasting solution and aesthetically perfect. Once it is bonded to your teeth, the porcelain becomes extremely strong and hard to break. But dental veneers are irreversible.  But they are stain-resistant and look beautiful; and natural.

Orthodontics: 

Orthodontist treats the misalignment of teeth, crooked, damaged, and teeth gaps. An orthodontist helps restructure the teeth. It is a long procedure and might take several years, depending on the condition. There are several types of braces available to prevent teeth from coming forward. 

We all know that dental problems can restrict you from many activities and make you uncomfortable in public. Therefore, it is important to take proper treatment before the problem gets complex.
