What is midline gap or spacing ?
Midline gap or spacing refers to a gap or space between the two front teeth, which are located in the center of the upper jaw. This condition is also called diastema.
Midline gap or spacing can occur due to a number of reasons, including genetics, a mismatch in the size of the teeth and the jawbone, gum disease, and improper development of teeth.
While some people may find the gap between their front teeth charming or unique, others may wish to get it treated for cosmetic or health reasons. Treatment options for midline gap or spacing include orthodontic treatment such as braces or clear aligners, dental bonding, and veneers. A consultation with a dentist or orthodontist will help determine the best treatment option for an individual’s specific case.
