What should I do if the gap between my teeth is getting bigger and bigger? How should I treat it?

If some friends do not care about their dental health, they will develop many oral diseases over a long period of time. There is a reason why the gaps between teeth are getting bigger and bigger. It could be poor tooth development or supernumerary teeth. There are treatments for this situation as well.

reason

Common causes of large gaps between teeth:

One is that when the permanent teeth are replaced, the growth of the permanent teeth deviates, causing them to grow unevenly, resulting in sparse teeth and large gaps.

Second, the gums may not be well developed. The gums are the basis of support for the teeth, and malnutrition can also lead to poor tooth development.

The third is supernumerary teeth. Some children often grow one or two deformed teeth on the labial, middle or palatal side of their upper incisors, which seriously affects the growth and arrangement of normal permanent teeth and causes the gap between the upper incisors to widen.

treat:

1. Orthodontics. By wearing braces to correct the teeth, the teeth can be moved and the gap between the front teeth can be reduced. The correction time takes about one and a half to two years. Orthodontic treatment can effectively solve the problem of large gaps between front teeth without causing any damage to the teeth, but it takes a long time for adults to correct the problem.

2. Porcelain tooth restoration. For the restoration of front teeth, we generally recommend choosing all-ceramic porcelain teeth, because all-ceramic porcelain teeth have no metal base, which can not only restore the morphology and function of the tooth, but also have strong fracture resistance, realistic color and appearance, smooth surface, and will not cause black spots and gum discoloration problems after long-term use, and the time required is relatively short.

3. Dental veneers. Dental veneers are also a good solution for large gaps between front teeth. Compared with porcelain teeth, dental veneers only need to grind off a layer of the tooth surface, causing little damage to the teeth and taking less time.
