The gap between the teeth

In this type of anomaly, the large jaw is usually inherited from the father and the small teeth from the mother. In this case, due to the small size of the teeth and due to the extra space in the jaw, the teeth are separated. Other factors that cause a gap between the teeth can be due to excessive implantation of one or more or missing one or more teeth, protrusion of the front teeth, enlargement of the tongue, etc. The gap between the teeth causes loss of gums, accumulation of mass of the teeth, suspension of food between the teeth, reduction in the efficiency of the teeth and lack of aesthetics. which therefore needs treatment. Usually, the gap between the teeth should be treated with fixed orthodontics, but if the patient also has a jaw problem, the diseased jaw problem should first be corrected, and after the jaw correction that needs to be done before puberty, it should be treated with fixed orthodontics. In some patients, there may be a gap between the teeth due to the lack of one or two teeth, so there are two treatment options depending on the patient’s condition.
