A diastema simply means a noticeable gap between teeth – most often, the two front teeth. While most of us want a perfect white, straight smile, it’s actually very common to have a diastema. Some of these gaps are small and barely noticed, whereas others are much larger.

A diastema is officially defined as a gap of more than 0.5 millimeters. While a diastema isn’t detrimental to your health, many people feel self-conscious if they have one. We’ll explore the common causes, and how you can get your diastema corrected in Chandigarh.....

What causes a diastema between the teeth and treatment options in Chandigarh?

Often there isn’t one cause for teeth gap between the front teeth but a number of causes. One of the most common of the teeth gap in front teeth is a mismatch between the size of the jaw and the teeth – either the teeth are too small for the jaw, or the jaw is too large for the set of teeth. This is usually genetic. A diastema or gap between front teeth can also be caused by an excess of tissue between gum and front teeth, called the labial frenum, which forces the teeth apart.

Gum disease in Chandigarh can also cause gaps in front teeth because, advanced gum disease weakens the jawbone, allowing teeth to loosen and move apart, as they are no longer being held securely in place. Or, the cause of teeth gap in upper front teeth could be very simple – a missing tooth!

Diastema in children in Chandigarh

Children often have gaps between their teeth when losing the baby set and gaining their adult replacements. This gap will often close when your child is older, and more teeth emerge through. However, a diastema in children can be caused by a condition known as tongue thrust – this is where the tongue pushes against the front teeth instead of resting in the mouth, forcing the teeth forward and out of place. You can always ask your pediatric dentist for advice if you are unsure.

Treatment of teeth gap closure in Chandigarh

If there is an underlying cause of the diastema, then treatment will often be orthodontic – that means using braces in Chandigarh or another tool to put pressure on the teeth and move them into their correct places. For adults, the best dentist in Chandigarh can offer near-invisible braces like Invisalign in Chandigarh to let you carry on everyday life with minimal fuss. If there is gum disease, thenthat must be treated before any corrective work can start. Gaps in teeth caused by the overgrowth of gums may need surgery to remove the excess tissue – after that, the teeth will probably move together for children, but for adults, some extra orthodontic work might be needed.

Cosmetic dental procedures in Chandigarh to close teeth gaps

However, if the diastema is purely an aesthetical problem – then a simple solution can be the answer to fix the gap between your teeth. A veneer in Chandigarh is fitted to the front of the teeth (made of porcelain or a resin-composite) can close the gap very well. Depending on the size of the gap, dental bonding can also work.

Bonding in chandigarh is where the resin is attached to one of the teeth – effectively closing the gap. If a diastema is caused by overly-small teeth, then a veneer or bonding can be a good solution. However, if the gap is large – say caused by a missing tooth – then more work may be needed.

A dental implant in Chandigarh can close the gap, or a bridge (where a false tooth is attached by using surrounding teeth for support) is another alternative, particularly if the jawbone is not strong enough to support an implant.
