Diastema: Understanding the Causes of Gap in Front Teeth

A gap in the front teeth, also known as a diastema, is one of the most typical manifestations of teeth that are positioned incorrectly. There are a number of potential causes for missing front teeth, some of them are as follows:

Frenum

The frenum is one of the causes of diastema that occurs most frequently. A labial frenum is a fragile tissue that links your lip to your gums. It is also known as a labial frenulum. A space between the front teeth may be the result of aberrant tissue in the frenum. Diastema that is brought on by an unusually large frenum may or may not require therapy. However, if the space between them is too great, it is recommended that they have it corrected.

Jaw Size

Additionally, the size of the jaw plays a significant impact in the positioning of the teeth in the mouth. If you have a broader jaw, your teeth will be able to move further apart from one another since they will have more space to do so. This can result in a space being created between the front teeth.

Diseases of the Gums

Inflammation of the gums can also cause spaces to form between your teeth. An increase in the space between your teeth can be caused by a number of factors, including receding gums, gum infections, loose teeth, and other symptoms associated with gum disorders.

Even though finding and treating the underlying cause of the diastema should be your number one goal, closing the space between your front teeth should also be a focus of your attention. This is due to the fact that food scraps have the potential to become lodged in this space. If it is not eliminated in a timely manner, this food will change into plaque, which can lead to serious infections and other health problems.

When you have a space in your front teeth, engaging in even the most fundamental acts of oral care, such as brushing or flossing your teeth, is more challenging.
