We shouldn’t cause this hole between our “blades” if we don’t have it naturally. Brigitte Bardot and Madonna have it.<\/p>\n
Also Spanish artists like Dani Mart\u00edn or Quim Guti\u00e9rrez.<\/p>\n
The diastema is this characteristic space that some people normally have between the two upper central incisors that we commonly call “shovels”.<\/p>\n
For some it has become an aesthetic phenomenon, to the point of wanting to provoke it to achieve a more youthful appearance.<\/p>\n
Keep reading to dispel any doubts.<\/p>\n
The anterior diastema is a very characteristic feature in children that is corrected over time, as the baby teeth are replaced by the permanent dentition.<\/p>\n
However, it can also be caused by other causes that require treatment in case it is convenient to close it.<\/p>\n
As a general rule, it is advisable to close it and, above all, never create it on purpose when it does not exist naturally.<\/p>\n
This is recommended by the Spanish Society of Orthodontics (SEDO).<\/p>\n
The orthodontist is the professional who can assess the suitability of closing the diastema or not after checking the state of the bite and the possible incidents that this hole may be causing in the rest of the mouth.<\/p>\n
If you have a diastema and would not like to close it for aesthetic reasons, you should keep in mind that it is not exclusively an aesthetic issue, but mainly a functional and health issue, since poor occlusion can lead to very different problems, such as back, jaw and neck discomfort, difficulties with chewing and digestion, etc.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the most recommended thing is to visit the orthodontist to find out what is best for your health.<\/p>\n
Treatments to close the diastema are very varied and their choice will depend on each particular case.<\/p>\n
Below, we point out the main causes of diastema and the treatments that are usually carried out based on these: Microdontia (small tooth size).<\/p>\n
In these cases, orthodontics and restorative dentistry are combined to close the diastema.<\/p>\n
Sometimes we can also resort to treatments with dental laminates.<\/p>\n
Loss of molars.<\/p>\n
The loss of a tooth in the back of the mouth can cause the rest to shift, creating holes or diastemas where there were none before.<\/p>\n
In these cases, dental implants are usually used with prior planning and movements through orthodontics.<\/p>\n
Too large a lip brake.<\/p>\n
It is the most common case and usually requires an orthodontic and surgical approach (frenectomy) to remove the frenulum.<\/p>\n
Although these are the most common treatments, we insist that it is the orthodontist who will be able to indicate the most appropriate one for your specific case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"template":"","categoria":[71],"class_list":["post-2678","actualitat","type-actualitat","status-publish","hentry","categoria-pathologies"],"meta_box":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualitat\/2678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualitat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/actualitat"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria?post=2678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
