What is Diastema?

In simple language, it is the gap between any two teeth in the mouth. In generally diastema is often noticed when there is a gap between the upper front teeth is very visible and noticeable. This gap is also called as Midline diastema. It causes an aesthetic problem. Diastema can affect adults as well as children of all age groups.

What causes Diastema?

There are several factors that can cause spaced teeth. Some of them include

• Genetic or hereditary factors: the size and structure of the jaw and the teeth are determined by genetics, so this problem may run in the family. If the teeth sizes are small in compared to the jaw size, it will cause the gap between the two teeth.
• Missing and undersized teeth: if some teeth are smaller than the other is or if teeth are missing, it may cause the diastema. Generally, the lateral incisors are involved in this type of condition. If these incisors are small or go missing, will lead to unpleasant gap between the front teeth.
• Oversized labial frenum (hypertrophic): if there is overgrowth of the tissue of labial frenum which connects the upper lip to the upper gum line near incisors then it gaps might appear between the teeth.
• Gum diseases: infections in the gum cause inflammation and damage of the tissue, which lead to migration of teeth and loss of the tooth. Due to this diastema will develop at the site. This kind of diastema can be prevented by the maintenance of good oral hygiene and getting gum diseases treated as soon as they appear.
• Incorrect swallowing reflex: while swallowing if the position of the tongue itself stays at the roof of the mouth, the tongue my push against the front teeth. This type of repeated action may push the teeth forward and cause gaps between the teeth.
• Unhealthy habits: Habits like thumb sucking, lip sucking or tongue thrusting can lead to spaces between the front teeth.
• Temporary diastema: This may happen when the baby teeth fall off, however, when permanent teeth erupt, these gaps close by themselves.
• Supernumerary teeth: A tooth which is erupts in the midline of two maxillary central incisors is called midline diastema leading further complications.
