Dentists identify the diastema as those teeth that appear separated.
The separated teeth appear especially in the central incisors or palettes, although they can appear in any of the other teeth.
It is also usually very common in children who still have baby teeth, but as it grows it disappears naturally.
Separate teeth: Causes
Separate teeth appear when there are certain mismatches between the size of the upper jaw and the teeth. If the teeth are too small in relation to the maxillary bone, the diastema will appear.
They also appear in those people with very small lateral incisors, causing the central incisors to separate to try to close the gap.
Too low bridle on upper lip.
Push the tongue against the teeth.
Lack of molars.
Loss of bone support
How to put the separated teeth together
There are many people who want dental treatment to correct the diastema:
Orthodontics: The treatment indicated for this correction is usually orthodontia. Both Invisalign, as conventional orthodontia or lingual orthodontia.
DENTAL Veneers: Another treatment that can be used is dental veneers. It is a simple and fast way to correct the separated teeth, provided that the patient has the correct bite and the teeth with a good disposition.
PHRENECTOMY: And if the cause of the separated teeth is the frenulum, we can resort to surgery. After this procedure, the patient will wear orthodontics to join the teeth or veneers can be used.
ORAL SURGERY: It is performed in those cases where there are problems with the size of the maxillary bone of the face.
IMPLANTS: When the problem is in the lack of teeth, the most appropriate is to resort to orthodontics and combine it with dental implants.
