The Origin of Gapped Teeth Each person is unique, and no one case presents a definitive reason why a space is present. Genetics can play a major role in how teeth form in your mouth. If your parents have spacing between their teeth, it is a good chance that you will also. Childhood habits largely affect the position of your teeth as well. Breathing mostly through your mouth and sucking on your thumb are examples of habits that will affect the position of your teeth. Adults can also have habits, like forcing their tongue against their upper teeth or pen biting, that can gradually shift teeth throughout life. When the teeth shift, spacing or even jaw joint pain can occur. How to Correct the Spaces Between Your Teeth There are four ways to correct the spaces between your teeth. Diagnosing the reason the spaces are present will determine which of the treatments will best suit your needs. |
Gaps between teeth can be filled by:
- Orthodontics (moving the teeth)
- Bonding (bonded tooth-colored fillings)
- Dental Veneers/Laminating (bonded porcelain facings)
- Dental Crowns (capping)
All of the other treatments to fill the spaces, including tooth bonding, dental veneers, and dental crowns, although they are very good treatments, are considered esthetic and functional compromises, and should be discussed with us in order to determine which restorative dentistry treatment is best for you

Nowadays people don't like to carry an insurance as the monthly premium fee becomes burden. That's why more people are liking dental plans to make their dental treatment affordable. In dental plans , the fee is very affordable, just have to pay a one time fee to be a member and enjoy the facility.
