Gaps between the teeth

Gaps between the teeth often have a considerable impact on your appearance and your smile.

Possible consequences if gaps between the teeth are not treated orthodontically:

• Receding gums: Because the teeth migrate out of the bone, very pronounced gum recession develops on individual teeth over the years.
• Gaps develop in the back teeth: If these gaps are not treated, they can cause the opposing tooth in the upper or lower jaw to over-erupt considerably. This would then have a negative effect on the bite.
• Teeth migrate: The teeth can drift because they do not support one another.
• Functional problems: You may have problems biting into food.
  

Have your gaps assessed at the Eltz Institut during a no-obligation initial consultation!

Recommended treatment method

Crowding is usually corrected with aligner treatment or treatment with fixed braces. Sometimes extractions are also necessary if the lack of space is considerable and the jawbone is small.
