What Is Diastema?

Diastema refers to the space or gap between two teeth, often most noticeable between the upper front teeth. While it is common and often harmless, some individuals seek treatment to close the gap for cosmetic reasons or because it may affect their ability to speak or chew properly. Diastema can occur due to a variety of factors, including:

Genetics: Natural spacing between teeth
Tooth Size and Shape: Small teeth or large jawbone
Habits: Thumb sucking or tongue thrusting during childhood
Gum Disease: Can cause the teeth to shift or loosen
Missing Teeth: Gaps left by lost teeth may result in additional spacing

Treatment Options for Diastema

At Brightside Dental Care, we offer several effective treatments to close gaps between your teeth and enhance the appearance of your smile. Our treatment options are tailored to your unique needs and goals, and may include:

Dental Bonding
- A simple, non-invasive procedure where a tooth-colored resin is applied to the teeth and shaped to close the gap. Bonding is ideal for smaller gaps and provides a quick, affordable solution.
Porcelain Veneers
- Thin shells of porcelain are bonded to the front of your teeth to reshape and close gaps. Veneers provide a natural-looking result and are durable, stain-resistant, and long-lasting.
Braces or Clear Aligners
- For larger or more complex gaps, orthodontic treatment with traditional braces or clear aligners (such as Invisalign) may be recommended to shift the teeth into a more aligned position, closing the gap gradually.
Dental Crowns
- In some cases, crowns may be used to restore teeth that are too small or misshapen to help close the gap and improve function and appearance.
Frenectomy
- If a large piece of tissue (called a frenulum) is causing the gap between the teeth, a frenectomy may be performed to remove or adjust the tissue and allow the teeth to move closer together.

Treatment is not always necessary unless the gap is affecting your self-esteem, speech, or chewing function. However, many people choose to treat diastema for cosmetic reasons.

The length of treatment depends on the method used. Bonding can be done in a single visit, while braces or clear aligners may take several months to close the gap gradually.

Most diastema treatments are non-invasive and require little to no discomfort. For orthodontic treatments, you may experience mild discomfort as your teeth shift.

With proper care and follow-up, the results of your diastema treatment should be long-lasting. In some cases, you may need occasional touch-ups or maintenance, especially with orthodontic treatments.
