The gap between the front teeth has a fifth of the world's population, and is a problem, rather, aesthetic, rather than functional, though many of the so-called defect is not corrected consciously, considering it his "Highlight". However, finding diastema (that is the medical name is a gap between the front teeth) at a young age, almost everyone raises the question, what to do?
Diastema is of two types - the false and true. The first option is manifested at an early age, when a child only baby teeth appear. In the future, when you change them in the root, in most cases it disappears by itself. True diastema - that is acquired for various reasons, it is a problem that can be solved only with the help of experts.
The reasons for which there is a diastema
• Late change of milk teeth.
• Violation of swallowing function in which the language is strongly rests on the front incisors.
• Heredity.
• Giperdontiya - the presence of extra teeth
• Low frenulum of the upper lip.
• Launched periodontium, wherein the teeth can "break up" and form a gap
• Chronic biting various objects, such as tweezers.
• Improper size with the size of the jaw teeth. In this regard, the teeth may be moved apart, thus forming a gap, not only between the front incisors, and this kind of abnormal clearances dentists called three.
I note that if the appearance of minor shcherbinki time does not refer to a specialist, the gap can not only not disappear, but over time will increase considerably.
Meanwhile, there is are several ways to "liquidation" diastema:
• Plastic. This method is suitable even for adults, and is that the central teeth are covered with crowns.
• Braces suitable for adolescence. With their help the teeth "tightened" to each other and the gap disappears forever. This "correction" lasts at least a year and saves not only on shcherbinki, but also contributes to the proper formation of an occlusion
• Surgery. Such an intervention is required, if the cause is the poor location of the frenulum of the upper lip. Such an operation makes sense to children and adolescents, at an older age it will be useless.
• Dental restoration. If you need to correct the interdental gap in adulthood, when the bones become stronger and bite formed, then the output of situation will be a special "patch" on the teeth of the finest materials, such as veneers and Luminar.
• Implantation. If the gap had increased to an impressive size in between another tooth is inserted between the teeth.
In conclusion, I will turn your attention to the following caveat: if you find Scherbinka a child under six years old, do not panic. Perhaps this defect will disappear immediately after the change of teeth. If it does not, consult your dentist is, of course, makes sense. The specialist will painlessly solve the problem with the help of simple orthodontic manipulation and after a few weeks your baby will give you a smooth radiant smile.
