A gap between two teeth is formally known as a diastema. These gaps tend to appear between the upper two front teeth but it can occur between any two teeth. There are several reasons for gapped teeth: oversized labial frenum, missing or undersized teeth, bad habit of thumb sucking or chewing pencil and gum disease. The treatment options include veneers, dental bonding and braces depending on the severity of your gapped teeth. The treatment for gapped teeth is different for each individual and their needs. It can only be determined by a dental professional. Fixing it will provide you with both esthetic and health benefits, so it’s important not to delay it.
