However, a gap can also\nemerge between any other two teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the possible reasons for the poor spacing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>There is a mismatch between the size of the\nteeth and jawbone.<\/li><li>Missing or undersized teeth can cause those adjacent\nto it to move in an attempt to close the space, which can create entirely new\ngaps.<\/li><li>You may have an oversized labial frenum (the\npiece of tissue that extends from the inside of the upper lip to the gums). If\nit becomes too prominent, it can emerge between the two front teeth and expand\ntheir natural spacing.<\/li><li>The pressure applied from thumb sucking can push\nthe front teeth forward and contribute to a gap.<\/li><li>Tongue thrusting, which involves pushing the\ntongue toward the teeth when swallowing instead of toward the roof of the\nmouth, can lead to a gap forming.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that no matter the cause of a gap, the\ncondition is treatable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You Should Fix Your Gap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s one trait about you that people will always\nnotice, it\u2019s your smile. Thus, a gap in your front teeth can leave you feeling more\nself-conscious and less confident. Even if you\u2019re content with your appearance,\nif you have an abnormal gap in your smile, you should still visit your dentist\nfor a checkup. That\u2019s because gapped teeth can also be a sign of gum disease.\nIt can also be an indicator that your bite isn\u2019t functioning properly, which can\nlead to a painful chipped or broken tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Treatment Solutions for Gapped Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to fix your gapped teeth, the best person\nto turn to is your cosmetic dentist. He or she can provide the perfect care\nneeded to not only improve your appearance, but also leave you with a more functional\nsmile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are two of the possible solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Porcelain Veneers <\/strong>\u2013 Thin ceramic shells\nthat are bonded to your front teeth, porcelain veneers are custom-designed by\nyour dentist and fabricated by an in-network lab to mask any gaps in your\nsmile.<\/li><li><strong>Cosmetic Dental Bonding <\/strong>\u2013 By applying composite\nresin material directly to your teeth, and shaping and hardening it, your\ndentist can hide a gap and leave you with a brand-new smile in just one visit.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about the available options for upgrading your appearance and closing any nagging gaps, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.universitydentalgroup.com\/contact.html\">contact<\/a> your University Dental Group cosmetic dentist today to request a visit.
