What is a
tooth gap?

Gaps between teeth – known in medicine as a diastema – bother many people. Having a tooth gap means that there is empty space in your bite, often in the upper jaw, and can be caused by various factors.

Tooth gaps, also known as diastema

A diastema is often caused by a labial frenulum that is set too low, which prevents the incisors from fully coming together.

It is often recommended to split the frenulum either surgically or with a laser. This is a routine procedure that only takes a few minutes. It is not painful and heals quickly. If the gap is caused by a misalignment between the width of the teeth and the jaws or by missing teeth, it is usually not necessary to remove the frenulum.

A gap between the two front teeth, usually in the upper jaw, is relatively common in children and adolescents and is known as a diastema mediale.

Why close
tooth gaps?

Many people find that having a gap between your front teeth isn't very beautiful. If a tooth gap is attributable to missing teeth, or if the gap is particularly large, various health problems may occur.

Risk of having an improper bite due to teeth not touching each other properly
Jaw joint paint, muscle tension, headaches
Disrupted chewing ability
Speech impairment (lisping)

Types of tooth gaps

Midline Diastema
This is a gap between the two front teeth, usually in the upper jaw. It's one of the most common types of tooth gaps
Maxillary Lateral Incisor Diastema
This refers to a gap between the upper lateral incisors, which are the teeth next to the two front teeth.
Generalized Spacing
This type involves gaps between multiple teeth throughout the mouth, rather than just in one specific area.
