Do you have noticeable gaps between your teeth? While spacing between teeth is common, understanding the cause is key to finding the best solution. Gaps can form due to:
While some people love their unique smile, excessive spacing can impact oral health. Gaps create pockets where food and bacteria can collect, increasing the risk of gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis), which can lead to tooth loss if untreated.
The good news? Orthodontic treatments like Invisalign and braces can gently move teeth into the right position, closing gaps and improving both function and aesthetics. Invisalign offers a nearly invisible way to fix spacing issues, while traditional braces can provide a more structured approach for complex cases.
Before treatment, spacing can cause uneven wear on teeth, difficulty chewing, and self-consciousness. After orthodontic correction, you’ll enjoy a healthier bite, improved gum health, and a more confident smile!
