Orthodontic Treatment Before and After SPACING

Before & After: Fixing Gaps Between Teeth with Orthodontics

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:

  • Natural growth patterns – Some people naturally develop extra space between their teeth.
  • Small teeth or a large jaw – When teeth are smaller than average or the jaw is larger, gaps can appear.
  • Missing teeth – If a tooth is missing, the surrounding teeth may shift, creating extra space.

Why Fixing Gaps Matters

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.

How Orthodontics Can Close Gaps

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 & After: The Impact of Treatment

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!

If you’re considering closing the gaps in your smile, book a consultation with Orthodontix at Forestville or Northbridge to explore your options. A straighter, healthier smile is within reach!
