Diastema Closure

A diastema is a space or gap between two teeth. It appears most often between the two upper front teeth. However, gaps can occur between any two teeth.
* Various procedures can be done to treat this condition:
* Orthodontic treatment: Treatment of choice in most of the cases. It involves gradually reducing space and closing it through light forces of wires, i.e with the help of braces.
* Direct composite veneers: when a person wants a quick fix, tooth bonding is preferred. A special tooth-colored resin which is applied to the tooth then hardened using a special light. This bonds the resin to the tooth either to restore it or to improve the appearance of the tooth. Bonding materials do not last as long nor are as strong as other dental procedures.
* Indirect veneers: A porcelain veneer is a thin shell that is bonded to the front of the tooth (or teeth) that you are looking to fix. Placing veneers requires the removal of a small amount of your enamel so that the veneers fit properly and look natural without altering your bite. This is often used with bonding to create a uniform look.
