Diastema is one of the most common problems faced by many of us. Diastema is a condition where there is space or gap occur between teeth. This can be corrected by using traditional braces, dental bands or direct dental bonding.
Causes Of Diastema (Teeth Gap)
Diastema happens due to the unequal relationship between the size of the teeth and the jaw. A midline diastema can be caused by a large labial frenum. The frenum is the tissue that connects your lips and gum. When labial frenum, is too large, too wide or too tight, it can cause a diastema between your two front teeth.
Treatments For Diastema (Teeth Gap)
Depending on the teeth and the size of the gap there are different solutions.
For a minor gap, the easiest fix would be a regular retainer. This will put the teeth together within a week or two. This works for the patient who had treatment before. These are for very minor gaps.
Dental Braces
For a major gap, the teeth have to be pulled closer by means of braces. The teeth are brought inward to cover the gap. This is a time-consuming procedure as it requires routine check-up to observe the progress of the teeth. It is done in stages.
Dental Bonding
This is by far the easiest and least expensive dental cosmetic procedure for diastema. A tooth coloured composite resin is used to fill the gap or repair any broken teeth. It is fairly an easy procedure taking 30 minutes to one hour to complete. Cosmetic dental service Chennai gives you the best treatment on cosmetic dentistry.
