Gap In The Front Teeth. How Can The Gaps Be Filled Without The Braces?
I have a very very very large gap in my front teeth and the rest of m teeth are also spacy at the top. I have lost a about three molars and the lower teeth has some gaps as well. how can the gaps be closed especially at the top without braces. I also have protruding teeth due to tongue thrust. is there any help for me without braces.
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
The spacing between front teeth is due to high frenal attachment resulting in midline diasthema.
In such cases,frenectomy has to be done initially to relieve your frenal attachment.
Z-springs along with orthodontic appliances are placed in such cases.
To prevent tongue thrusting habit,tongue cribs are given.
Without using orthodontic treatment,the defect cannot be corrected.
Tongue cribs/z-springs are placed palatally/lingually.
Maintain good oral hygiene.
Please try to close your mouth properly while sleeping.
Hope this helps.
gaps in teeth could be of multiple reason like high labial frenum attachment,tongue thursting,periodonal issue causing loosening of teeth creating gaps
other cause of gap in your case could be your lost teeth in arch,an empty space created by tooth loss in an arch cause drifting of adjacent teeth towards empty area creating gap in teeth,so as you extract your teeth it should be replaced
consult the dentist for possible treatment to close your gap
maintain good oral hygiene
try to stop your tongue thursting habit
thanks
Gap in between the front tooth is midline diaestema is mainly due to abnormal labial frenum attachment.
Such type of cases required a surgical procedure known as frenectomy before or during the procedure, it is treated with the help of orthodontic brackets.
Removable applainces can also be used along with z- spring.
I would suggest you to visit the Orthodontist and get the checkup done take an OPG x-ray
and discuss the treatment plan.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.
