It\u2019s called a \u201cdiastema,\u201d and if you find it bothersome, you might be worried about getting it fixed in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marveldentalcare.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">aesthetically pleasing<\/a> way. Worry not! As it turns out, there\u2019s more than one way your dentist can correct a dental gap. Learn more about your options so you can build the perfect treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invisalign Clear Aligners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oftentimes, a diastema is the result of dental misalignment. Orthodontics are a popular choice for treatment because they can physically move your teeth closer together, giving your entire smile a more seamless look. But not everyone wants to deal with metal brackets and wires!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, you can ask your dentist about Invisalign clear aligners. These transparent, plastic trays are known for being more comfortable \u2013 and significantly more aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike Invisalign, porcelain veneers technically won\u2019t physically move your pearly whites. In dentistry, veneers are thin, porcelain shells that are adhered to the front-facing portion of your teeth. Your dentist can completely customize the size and shape of these cosmetics, so if your goal is to conceal a diastema, they\u2019ll make sure the veneers are wide enough to hide the gap from view. Your smile will look as seamless as it would if you had gotten Invisalign, but with an overall shorter treatment timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tooth Replacements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a missing tooth caused your diastema, then Invisalign or veneers might not be an effective solution. That doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re out of luck, though! These days, tooth replacements can look incredibly life-like. With a dental bridge or dental implant in place, you won\u2019t just improve your aesthetics \u2013 it will also be much easier to chew properly and clean debris from your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you would prefer a functional fix or a purely cosmetic solution, your dentist would be happy to help you with your diastema. Let them know which treatment you\u2019re interested in by giving them a call today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marveldentalcare.com\/meet-dr-oza.html\">Dr. Jay Oza<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marveldentalcare.com\/meet-dr-escobedo.html\">Dr. Hizamar Escobedo<\/a> are passionate dentists in Burleson.
