Orthodontic treatment is suitable for people of all ages. Dental procedures like restorations, crowns and bridges cannot be administered successfully without first repositioning the teeth through orthodontic treatment. Braces can change the way you look by making your smile a lot more attractive!

Children can consult an orthodontist by the age of 7 and find out if orthodontic treatment is necessary. By that age, the first permanent molars and incisors would have appeared and the teeth can be evaluated for crossbites, crowding and other dental problems.

Orthodontic appliances are made with metal, ceramic or plastic. They can be either removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. The duration of the treatment can vary from 6 months to 3 years depending on the growth of the patient’s mouth and the nature of the problem for which braces are being used. However, irrespective of how long the treatment lasts, its results last long after the treatment is completed. That means, once braces are used, the changes are permanent.

Abnormal spaces between teeth

One of the common orthodontic problems is abnormal spaces between the teeth, diastema. Large gaps occur between the two upper front teeth resulting in unaesthetic look, shunning you from smiling, being conscious of awkward look of the teeth. Wider spaces between teeth also affect the speech. Excess space between other teeth also may be due to smaller size of teeth in larger jaw, or missing teeth or abnormally shaped teeth. These conditions may be genetically inherited or caused by the habits like thumb sucking, biting lower lip, tongue thrusting of front teeth.  

The diastema is also because of longer tissue that connects the upper lip to the gums above the two frontal teeth. This tissue is called labial frenum. Over growth of this labial frenum extending to the space between the two front teeth push them apart increasing the gap between them. If you do not replace any tooth extracted, the teeth surrounding the extracted tooth progressively shift towards each other creating gap between teeth.

Widening of gap between the teeth needs attention and visits to dentists is necessary. Reasons for the diastema need to be evaluated and appropriate orthodontic treatment is to be given in time.
