Gaps in-between your teeth or “Diastema” may not be harmful but can become your concern if it harms your appearance.
There are multiple reasons for such gaps to occur in your teeth alignment, which may include, missing teeth, smaller size of teeth, mal-alignment of the teeth, gum disease, oral habits, etc.

Different methods for treating a Diastema include-
- Braces treatment–
The braces put pressure on the teeth, closing the gap over time. You may require to wear braces on all your teeth for a significant period of time as the teeth alignment may require shifting of multiple teeth.
- Laminates and Veneers–
This is a quick alternative to braces which involves treatment of teeth involved.
This treatment option is suitable when gaps are minimal.
Composite laminates are made directly in the mouth using light cured resin material. Ceramic veneers are made in the laboratory and are then bonded on the teeth. Veneers help in changing the Shape, Size and Colour of your teeth, and are a viable option for smile correction.
- Dental implants/ Bridges–
When the gap occurs due to missing teeth, implants can be placed to replace the missing teeth and fill the gap. Placing dental implants involves inserting metal screws into the jawbone and attaching the replacement teeth.
