The Impact of
Gap Teeth on
Oral Health
Diastema, colloquially known as gap
teeth, alludes to the spaces or intervals
that frequently manifest between two
or more teeth, predominantly
conspicuous in the anterior maxillary
region. While these interstices may
occasionally be perceived as charming
or distinct, their repercussions on one's
oral health should not be
underestimated. Within this exposition,
we shall delve into the intricate
ramifications that diastema imposes on
your comprehensive oral welfare. If you
have Gap teeth, You may have doubts
about How to fix Gap teeth?

The presence of gap teeth can
significantly impinge upon one's
articulation and enunciation, notably
when pronounced intervals are involved.

articulation of specific phonemes,
potentially affecting one's self-assurance
and communicative prowess.
