Spaced Teeth

We offer effective treatment options for patients with spaced teeth, helping create beautifully aligned smiles and improved oral health.

Overview

Spaced teeth, also known as diastema, refer to gaps or spaces between two or more teeth.

These gaps can appear anywhere in the mouth but are most commonly found between the upper front teeth. Spaced teeth may be a natural occurrence or develop over time due to various factors.

Genetics often play a significant role, with some individuals inheriting a mismatch between jaw size and tooth size, leading to gaps. Other causes include missing teeth, oversized labial frenulum (the tissue connecting the upper lip and gums), or habits like thumb sucking, which can push teeth apart.

Gum disease is another contributing factor, as it may result in bone loss and tooth shifting. Spaced teeth are a common cosmetic and functional concern in dentistry.

Spaced teeth can affect a person’s confidence, making them self-conscious about their smile.

The gaps may also trap food, complicating oral hygiene, and in some cases, lead to speech difficulties or misalignment of surrounding teeth.

At New Ash Green Dental & Aesthetics, we expertly treat spaced teeth with tailored solutions to improve alignment and enhance smiles. Our experienced team offers advanced orthodontic options, including clear aligners (Invisalign teeth straightening) designed for comfort and precision. For minor gaps, cosmetic treatments such as composite bonding or porcelain veneers provide quick, effective results. We focus on creating a personalised plan to suit each patient’s needs, ensuring seamless results, improved oral function, and a boost in confidence with every treatment.
