ortodontist

If you have gap or gaps between your teeth, do not worry, orthodontists can close them. A gap between the teeth is referred to as a diastema, and it appears most often between the upper front teeth. These gaps can be caused by a mismatch between the size of the jawbones and the size of the teeth, oversized muscle (frenulum) attachments, habits such as thumb sucking, an incorrect swallowing reflex, and periodontal disease. Before treatment, your dentist should determine the reason for the space. Sometimes these gaps are unpleasant to the patient and can be closed with braces and/or dental restorations.

A Method For Closing

Direct composite bonding is a noninvasive dental procedure that can be used to close gaps, repair chipped and/or decayed teeth, and alter and improve tooth size, shape, length, alignment, color, and contour. Direct bonding is a popular treatment procedure because it requires minimal to no tooth removal and provides successful and strong attachment between the composite filling material and the tooth enamel and dentin. Direct bonding involves direct application of a tooth-colored composite material to the tooth surface to achieve a desired final shape and color.
