What Causes Gaps?

Spaces between teeth are most often caused by heredity. However, they also may be caused by personal habits such as tongue thrusting, or by abnormal tongue or swallowing movements. Constant proving with the tongue, for example, can push teeth apart.

Closing Gaps with the Help of the Three R's:

  1. Repositioning the teeth orthodontics;
  2. Restoring the teeth through bonding, laminating, or crowing; or
  3. Removal of the teeth, following by replacement with a bridge or implant.

 

"When teeth are attrractive and healthy, repositioning is the ideal treatment."
