Split teeth are an aesthetic and functional problem usually seen in the upper jaw. In other words, when split teeth are not treated, they cause problems related to oral and dental health and can make you unhappy in terms of aesthetics.
The problem of tooth separation (diastema) in some people is a congenital problem. There may be discrepancies between the teeth due to reasons such as the inconsistency between the size of the teeth and the width of the jaw arch (if your teeth are very small but your jaw is large) or a congenital lack of lateral incisors, and this can be passed on genetically.
In some people
•Tongue thrusting and swallowing problems
•Teeth moving towards the gap due to missing teeth
•Some gum problems
•Bad habits such as long-lasting thumb sucking in childhood

Tooth gaps (diastema) Treatment options
Composite laminate (bonding): Composite laminates, which is a kind of filling method, is a method used only in the treatment of splits in the anterior region, with satisfactory results in a single session. With these fillings made in the color of the natural tooth, the gap can be closed in an aesthetic way. Although it is preferred because it is both economical and performed in a single session, the physician who will make your treatment will decide whether it is suitable for you.
Porcelain lamina: It is a frequently preferred method in the treatment of tooth separations. The gaps between the teeth can be closed by sticking a very thin porcelain on the front teeth.
Orthodontic treatment (braces treatment): It is a preferred method mostly in children and common tooth separations. The gap is closed by simply moving the gingiva without any conversion on your natural teeth. Although the treatment period is longer than other methods, it is a permanent solution.
Reasons such as the reason for the separation, the general health status of the patient, age, and expectations are the determining factors in determining the treatment method.
