What Causes Gaps in Teeth?
Here in our Johnson City office, many patients ask us about the causes of their tooth gaps (technically called diastema). While some people embrace their gap as a unique feature, others seek treatment for a more uniform smile.
Common causes include genetic factors, mismatched jaw and tooth sizes, and natural growth patterns. Understanding the cause helps us develop the most effective treatment plan for your specific situation.
How Long Does Gap Teeth Treatment Take in Johnson City?
Your gap teeth treatment timeline typically follows these patterns:
- Small Gaps: 3-6 months for complete closure
- Medium Gaps: 6-12 months to achieve ideal results
- Larger Gaps: 12-18 months for optimal positioning
During your free consultation at our Johnson City office, we’ll evaluate your specific case and provide a precise timeline for your smile transformation. All custom to you!
Orthodontic Solutions for Gap Teeth at Sturgill Orthodontics
We specialize in two proven solutions for closing gaps in teeth, each offering unique advantages for our Johnson City patients:
Traditional Braces for Gap Closure
Traditional braces (like metal braces or clear braces) remain one of our most effective treatments for gap closure. They’re really effective for:
- Larger gaps requiring precise movement
- Complex alignment issues
- Patients preferring a “set it and forget it” approach
- Cases needing comprehensive bite correction
Using the latest orthodontic technology, we make sure you are comfortable and we work efficiently throughout your treatment.
Invisalign Clear Aligners for Gap Treatment
Many of our Johnson City patients choose Invisalign for closing their tooth gaps. These clear aligners are ideal for:
- Small to medium-sized gaps
- Professional settings where adults prefer discrete treatment (We’ve had some patients that didn’t want to go to business meetings with visible braces)
- Patients wanting the flexibility to remove their aligners
- Cases where comfort is a top priority
