Space Closures/Diastema Closure

Service Description

Treating Diastema: Closing Gaps in Your Smile A diastema is a gap between your central incisors (front teeth). Treatment options include orthodontic and restorative approaches, with restorative being the simplest and often completed in a single appointment. Orthodontic Approach: 1. Braces: Braces are placed on the upper teeth, using a sequence of wires and elastics to close the gap and align the teeth. 2. Retention: After closing the gap, a lingually bonded retainer is used to maintain the results and prevent the diastema from reopening. Restorative Approach: 1. Composite Resins: This method uses composite resins to fill the gaps, matching the shape and symmetry of adjacent teeth. The result is a natural-looking enhancement that complements your smile and facial proportions. Case Study: Spaces or gaps between teeth or teeth which are not symmetrical in size and shape are noticed more easily than even those with crooked teeth. Statistics say, a person with an attractive smile is 67% more likely to impress someone the first time they meet them. For those who do not want to consider Braces or Aligners, the simplest, most permanent way to make a smile look symmetrical and beautiful are Porcelain Veneers. This case was treated with Veneers in a matter of 5 days. At Smile Speak Dental Clinic, we offer both orthodontic and restorative treatments to effectively address diastema and enhance your smile.
