How to fix the gap between the front teeth?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I was looking into veneers and Invisalign to fix the gap between my front teeth. I am not sure what would fix them. So, I am looking for some initial advice. I have attached a picture for you to view.
Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your query and attached a photograph (attachment removed to protect patient identity). First of all, let me tell you that the space between the upper front teeth, which you are having, is called midline diastema.
It can occur due to many reasons, like abnormal frenal attachment, tooth-arch material discrepancy, and habits like thumb sucking and tongue thrusting in childhood.
According to the cause, midline diastema can be treated with fixed or removable appliances, composite crowns, veneers, frenectomy, gingivoplasty, etc. So, consult your nearby dentist to rule out the cause and plan the treatment.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
