Gaps between teeth can be viewed as a characteristic of a person’s appearance. Medically known as
diastema, gaps between the teeth often occur between the top two front teeth. Most children
under the age of six will likely have this gap. In the media, many well-known faces proudly showcasethe gaps predominantly in their top front two teeth.
However, gaps can cause dental problems, including misaligned jaws and overcrowding. Undergoing
treatment early can help prevent further complications from happening in the future. If your
children have unevenly spaced teeth, consider seeking treatment to prevent issues from occurring
later.
In some instances, the gap will close on its own gradually over time. In most cases, additional dental
work is needed to help close these gaps and create that straight smile. There are various treatments
to help fix unevenly spaced teeth in children, and these are some of them.
