What to do if the gap between front teeth is too big

Teeth are an indispensable part of our human body. We chew food with our teeth in our daily eating so that the food can enter the stomach and be digested quickly and completely. Teeth are also related to aesthetics, and neat teeth make people feel comfortable. Incisors are a symbol of teeth. They are the largest and most centrally located teeth. However, some people have large gaps between their incisors, which not only affects the appearance, but also allows food residues to remain in the gaps when chewing food, breeding bacteria and having adverse effects on the human body. Let me tell you what to do if the gap between your front teeth is too large.

1. What are the causes of large gaps between teeth?

The gaps between teeth are also called interdental spaces, which refer to the natural spaces between teeth. Normally, the spaces between teeth are filled with gum tissue. The part of the gum tissue between the teeth is medically called the gingival papilla, commonly known as "tooth flower". The gingival papillae are very prone to inflammation, which is called gingivitis, and once inflamed, they are prone to bleeding.

However, as long as the gingival papilla bleeds, it means that the gingival papilla is inflamed. Moreover, the blood circulation of the gingival papillae is very good. The inflamed gingival papillae take advantage of the favorable conditions of good blood circulation to accelerate blood flow, thereby achieving an anti-inflammatory effect. Inflammation and anti-inflammation of the gingival papillae often occur, and this process also makes it easy for the gingival papillae to become necrotic and fall off. Each necrosis and shedding will cause the height of the gingival papilla to decrease.

Throughout our lives, the gingival papillae are often inflamed, which means that the gingival papillae often become necrotic and fall off. This can easily cause the gingival papillae to lower their height little by little, and the gaps between teeth will become larger and larger. In addition, if there are food residues in the teeth for a long time, these foods will easily compress the gum tissue, causing necrosis of the gingival papilla and causing the gaps between teeth to widen.

2. What should I do if there are large gaps between my teeth?

There are many reasons for large gaps between teeth, so the treatment should be based on the cause. One is that the teeth are naturally wide apart, and the other is that the teeth are wide apart due to pathological reasons. For example, periodontal disease or mechanical pressure can easily cause gum recession, which can lead to larger gaps between teeth. When the gaps between teeth become larger, food is easily stuck in them. The long-term presence of food will not only cause the gaps between teeth to become larger, but also affect the periodontal tissues. Therefore, when treating large gaps between teeth, you must first consider the cause of the disease.

The gaps between teeth and adjacent teeth caused by tooth defects due to caries can usually be restored by filling the teeth to restore normal contact with adjacent teeth, so that there will be no more gaps between teeth that can cause impaction. If the defect is large, simply filling the tooth will not be very effective, because the stability and aesthetics of the filling are relatively poor. At this time, crown restoration treatment is also required. For cases where there are large gaps between teeth due to congenital infertility, orthodontic treatment can be done, but this is only for young people. For older people, you can consider having a porcelain crown to restore the contact between the teeth. If the large gaps between teeth are caused by periodontal disease, of course the periodontal disease must be treated in a timely manner.

Correction method:

1. Teeth correction to close tooth gaps: Dynamic Vision invisible braces use orthodontic correction methods to close gaps and restore the dental arch shape of the entire dentition. It takes one-third less time than traditional wire braces correction.

2. Repair large gaps between teeth through cosmetic dental crowns: Through cosmetic dental crown dental restoration technology, you can help everyone solve problems such as large gaps between teeth, uneven teeth, crowded teeth or yellow teeth. If you want to repair it for adults, you have to consider using a cosmetic crown to restore the normal tooth shape and close the gaps between teeth. Because adults have passed the growth and development period, they cannot use braces to correct their teeth.

3. The braces correction technology is to achieve the movement of teeth horizontally under gentle force, which can also greatly reduce the pain of correction. The self-ligating brackets eliminate the traditional force-adding method of tooth correction. The reaction after the force-adding method during the follow-up visit is relatively mild, far less than the pain reaction of general orthodontic surgery.
