Distal teeth and their treatment

The spacing of the teeth, especially the two maxillary front teeth, became fashionable for a short time between modeling, but after a while, a beautiful smile was introduced again, a smile with healthy and aligned teeth. Although modeling manually created gaps between their teeth, gaps between teeth are usually created genetically. Wrong habits such as finger sucking and some diseases can cause gaping teeth.

Modify the smile design

First you need to know the definition of a beautiful smile. It is a beautiful smile in which the teeth are fully exposed and at the same time, are placed next to each other regularly. Unfortunately, spaced teeth are one of the factors that negatively affect the beauty of a smile. Of course, there is no need to worry, there are many treatments for dental gaps, which we will discuss below.

Genetic factors play an important role in the formation of spaced teeth. On the other hand, the presence of some diseases such as acromegaly, Ellis van Croweld syndrome, Murcia syndrome and gum diseases are involved in the formation of spaced teeth. Sometimes the size of the teeth is smaller than the position of the jaw, which causes an abnormal distance between the teeth.

Another thing that causes gaping teeth is the absence of some teeth. In general, when the dental space is empty, the teeth tend to move and over time, a gap is created between the teeth.

One of the most important reasons for crooked and spaced teeth is the decay of baby teeth in children. If the baby teeth do not fall out in time, the permanent teeth will not grow in time, so with the movement of the present teeth, the empty space will be filled and the eruption of permanent teeth will have problems. This causes the teeth to become spaced apart.

Wrong habits also play an important role in spacing teeth. Clearly sucking the teeth causes the jaw to grow forward and push the teeth out. In this case, there is a serious Dentoskeletal problem, one of which is the distance between the teeth.

Dental distance treatment

It depends on the distance between the teeth. If the distance between the teeth is more than two millimeters, orthodontics will be the best way to correct this anomaly. Fixed and removable orthodontics can easily change the distance between teeth.

Another treatment that is suitable for dental gaps is the use of tooth-colored laminate. Composite or ceramic is placed on the tooth and fills the empty space. Of course, this type of treatment is suitable for people who have very short dental distances.

Bonding is another method of treating dental gaps. This method can also be performed at the dentist’s discretion. In this method, a special paste is placed on the tooth and then shaped like a tooth. Afterwards, with the help of ultraviolet light, this paste hardens and becomes exactly like a part of a tooth.
