Effective treatment to correct gaps

The gap between the teeth that some people show, especially between the two incisors, is known as a diastema. Sometimes it is perceived as an aesthetic problem that you want to solve.The separation between the teeth is frequent in children with baby teeth, something that generally disappears with growth and when the final teeth emerge. This gap is usually due to a mismatch between the size of the upper jaw and the teeth, since if they are smaller than the maxilla, the gap will appear between the pieces. Another common cause in the diastema is the size of the frenulum that connects the upper lip with the gum. If it is too large, it will occupy the space between the teeth, causing the hole to appear.

How to correct the diastema?

If the diastema problem is caused by the size of the frenulum, you will need to undergo a frenectomy, an oral surgical treatment. This operation is very simple and does not imply any risk for the patient, but it must be complemented with an orthodontic treatment.
