Spacing
Spacing
Spacing, also known as diastema, refers to unwanted gaps or spaces between the teeth, most commonly seen in the front upper teeth. While it may seem like a cosmetic issue, spacing can also affect your bite, speech and overall oral health.
Food often gets trapped in these spaces, increasing the risk of cavities and gum problems. At our clinic, we offer several treatment options to close these gaps effectively, including orthodontic braces, clear aligners, dental bonding and veneers. With personalized care and modern techniques, we help you achieve a well-aligned, natural-looking smile that improves both function and appearance.
