Clinically termed 'diastema', extended space between teeth significantly increases the chances of food particles getting stuck between them. This can lead to gum infections if the affected individual has poor oral hygiene.

Thus, it’s best to seek dental treatment to fix the problem. As such, the primary treatment methods for diastema include: - Braces - Dental bonding (application of resin to fill the gaps) - Composite & porcelain veneers

While all three are effective, braces and dental bonding directly fix the issue. Conversely, veneers are more of a cosmetic option than an actual clinical remedy.

If you want to opt for such dental treatment methods, consult Dr Aritri Lahiri.
