Gapped teeth, also known as diastema, is a common dental condition where noticeable spaces or gaps exist between the teeth. This condition can affect both children and adults and is often a source of self-consciousness and discomfort.
At FACEMED Aesthetics & Dentistry Clinic in Essex, we specialise in providing effective treatments for gapped teeth, including Invisalign and fixed braces. Our expert team is dedicated to helping you achieve a confident, beautiful smile.
Gapped teeth can result from a variety of factors, including:
Inherited traits can influence the size of your teeth and jawbone, leading to gaps.
Prolonged thumb sucking during childhood can cause gaps as it affects the development of teeth and jaw.
The pressure from tongue thrusting can push teeth forward, creating gaps.
Gum disease can cause the bone that supports your teeth to deteriorate, leading to gaps.
An improper bite can cause uneven spacing between teeth.
We offer advanced treatments to close gaps and align your teeth for a more uniform smile. Our primary treatments for gapped teeth include:
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into place. This treatment is discreet, comfortable, and highly effective for closing gaps.
Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to correct the position of your teeth. They are a reliable option for more severe cases of gapped teeth and provide precise control over tooth movement.
